Sparks in Scotland (21 page)

“See what I'm talking about?” Annabelle said.

I opened my mouth and closed it again. How could I tell Annabelle that, even if he was really, really good-looking, I could never be interested in someone who'd so clearly drunk the ­Camden Kool-Aid.

If I said that, I'd basically be insulting everybody who was there, including her.

So I just shrugged, and said, “Um, yeah, nice fiddling.”

“Nice?! That was lovely.” Nanny had appeared at our sides. “That young man had better be in our class.”

“Our class?” Annabelle inquired, blinking inquisitively at my grandmother.

“Nanny, this is Annabelle,” I said. “We just figured out that we're roommates.”

I turned back to Annabelle. “My grandma is one of Camden's fiddle teachers.”

“And Nell is going to be my assistant,” Nanny said proudly.

“Uh, yeah,” I confirmed, trying not to sound morose.

Annabelle looked from me to Nanny then back to me.

“Interesting,” she said.

Then she glanced at the dispersing circle of music lovers.

“And, hmm, I think it's about to get even more so.”

“Huh?” I said.

I followed her gaze to the fiddler. This time, he was the one staring—with wide eyes and a sudden blush on his neck—at me!
