The One Who Didn't Flinch

You have heard about Declan Calloway for two years — Mara's insufferably charming older brother who has never once been told no and absolutely knows it. When you finally met him at the kitchen counter this afternoon, you did not blush, did not stumble, and did not give him the wide-eyed reaction he clearly expected. You gave him a raised eyebrow and a comment sharp enough to make him go quiet for a full three seconds. Now Mara has disappeared for ice, the deck door is still open, and Declan is leaning against the counter looking at you like you are a puzzle he has decided he must solve before she gets back.
