should have. I thought I even saw them smile at him. After they got their ice cream, they sat at the table near the door.
    “Jack, you brought some friends.” Abel had a nice deep voice.
    When his pretty blue eyes set on mine, I blushed a little and strange tingles swept over me. Instantly, I knew why the girls were friendly with Abel. He was handsome and looked at me differently than he did my brother. Was this called flirting?
    “Oh.” Jack placed his arm around my shoulders as if to claim me as his friend. At least that was what I thought. “This is Lucia and her twin brother, Zach.”
    Zach slowly and gently picked Jack’s hand off me while he kept his eyes on Abel. “Hi. I’m the protective brother,” he warned.
    “It’s nice to meet you,” I interceded, trying to defuse the awkward situation.
    Zach’s comment didn’t seem to faze Abel. “Same here,” Abel muttered with a grin, running his fingers through his light golden-brown hair. “So, we have some newbies. Where are you from?”
    Newbies? What did he mean by newbies? I tried to remember the response Uncle Davin had made us practice, but I drew a blank. Pretending to be human was difficult. I reminded myself Abel didn’t know I was an angel.
    “We’re originally from Los Angeles,” Zach replied. “We moved here because our Uncle Davin lives here. My parents are busy traveling for work, so our uncle thought it would be a great idea for us to move to Hawaii. That way, he could keep an eye on us when my parents travel. My uncle used to live on the Kona side, but he recently moved to Hilo, next door to Jack.”
    “Cool.” Abel winked, never taking his eyes off me. “So, you’re Jack’s friend?”
    “Yes,” I answered, as my face warmed. Why were my lips stretched out to my ears?
    “Good. So then, you’re not taken? You don’t have a boyfriend, right?”
    Jack was agitated all of a sudden. I couldn’t understand the change in him when he’d seemed relaxed a second ago.
    “Abel is our quarterback,” Jack stated quickly, breaking into our conversation.
    “Is that why he has muscular arms?” Oh crap. Did I just say that? “I mean, of course you have to have strong arms.” My face flushed even more deeply. I shifted my attention and pointed to the ice cream display. “That one. I want chocolate.”
    After we ordered, I didn’t know if we were staying there or heading back home until Zach spoke to me in my mind while licking his strawberry ice cream cone. We should stay and see if we can talk to those teens.
    Okay , I agreed, then immediately regretted answering. We weren’t supposed to use our powers. We really needed to contain that.
    Before Jack could exit, I took a lick and said, “Hey, Jack, let’s eat our ice cream here.”
    Jack didn’t answer at first. He glanced at the group of teens who had ignored him earlier. The five of them were doing something with their phones. “Umm, let’s just go.” He started to head for the door, and then to my surprise he flew across the floor.
    “Oops.” Cayden smirked.
    “Jack. Are you okay?” I felt so bad for him. What was wrong with Cayden? I wanted to yell at him and ask him why he had to be so mean, but I didn’t.
    By the time I got to Jack, he was already standing and placing his glasses back on his face. He held up his ice cream cone. “It’s still here.” He tried to sound cheerful as if it hadn’t happened, but sadness filled his eyes, not to mention his face, red with embarrassment. Why didn’t he say something to Cayden?
    “Apologize to him.”
    I whipped around to see my brother hovering over Cayden and the girls staring at him in awe. Still in his chair, Cayden slowly peered up and stared boldly at my brother.
    “Zach, it’s okay,” Jack whispered, but I heard it. I think he was too shocked to raise his voice. Either that or he was afraid of Cayden, who was taller and more muscular. If they brawled, Jack wouldn’t have a chance.
    “Hell no. He was in my
