@PunkyCutester44: But did anyone notice the way Eden’s looking at Anna in that 2nd pic bc omg?!?! #Edanna

@Daydreamer05: Please! If Eden dated a woman, it would be someone at her level not a child like Anna Moss

@BriannaLong598: Gah the way these 2 look at each other!! #Edanna

It went on and on, with the fans dissecting every nuance from each of the photos. They’d even given them a celebrity-couple name, mashing Eden and Anna together to create#Edanna, which ... made Anna’s heart flutter for entirely inappropriate reasons.

The majority of the comments were positive, although a few of Eden’s fans thought Anna wasn’t worthy of dating their idol. That knocked the wind out of Anna’s sails, even though she could hardly blame them for feeling that way. Still, she was hardly achild.

When Anna looked at the photos again after she’d read hundreds of posts from fans accusing them of making romantic eyes at each other, now she was seeing them in a different way too. Was Eden looking at her that way? No. The soft smile on Eden’s face as she watched Anna sing was affectionate, but in a friendly way, not a romantic one.

They did look awfully damn cute together, though. Anna’s phone pinged with an incoming text message, and her pulse misfired when she saw Eden’s name on the screen. Oh God. Had she seen the hashtag? When Anna clicked on the text, she revealed a selfie of Eden sitting on the gray couch in her condo, wearing Anna’s purple hoodie.

Eden:

I keep forgetting to give this back! And I wanted to thank you again for tonight. It was amazing.

She’d attached a motorcycle emoji and several smiley face variations. Anna’s heart clenched. Seeing Eden in her hoodie did things to her.

Anna:

Keep it! I didn’t wear that one often anyway.

That was a lie. It had been one of Anna’s favorite hoodies, but she loved seeing it on Eden more than she liked wearing it. Anna had plenty of hoodies.

Anna:

And I’m happy to take you out again on the bike anytime! I go out on it a few times a week.

Eden:

Might take you up on that

Anna:

Anytime

Eden:

See you tomorrow

Anna tabbed back to Twitter, and this time, she impulsively saved the photos to her phone. Yeah, she had it bad. And no, she didn’t care.

CHAPTER TEN

“You and Anna caused quite a stir on Twitter last night,” Paris told Eden as they rode toward the rehearsal studio.

“What? How?” Eden glanced at her in surprise. Surely no one had seen them on the motorcycle. She’d been careful to make sure no one was looking before she took off her helmet ...

“The photos I shared from your rehearsal. A bunch of fans are speculating you two might be dating. They even gave you a celebrity-couple name: Edanna.”

Eden laughed. “Well, that’s new. I’m used to the rumors every time I’m photographed with a man, but it hasn’t happened with a woman before.”

“Maybe because Anna’s gay?” Paris asked, tapping at her phone.

“Pan,” Eden corrected.

“What?”
