“I think I do,” he says stalking after me.

“Should we reenact?” I coax my eyebrow as he steps closer.

His lips quirk up at the side revealing that dashing smile that makes my heart stop. “We should.”

I mean, we can still turn back. There’s still time.

I take another step backwards before I bump straight into someone. Jerking back, I swing around and catch the person I was most likely about to smoosh.

Holding on to their arms, my stomach drops as soon as I realized who it is.

“Nathan?” her small voice asks.

My mouth drops open. There she is.

Sarah Lockwood.

“What the…what are you two doing here?” Sarah grabs us both by the wrists and guides us over to a nearby empty table. “I mean, don’t you two hate each other?” she asks, sitting down. I sit next to her while Caleb remains standing.

I can’t believe this is actually happening. We finally found her. Or, I guess, she found us this time. My hands are shaking, and my heart feels like it’s beating outside my chest. All this time to prepare, and yet I have no clue what to say.

“Uh… I guess it’s actually kind of a funny story,” Caleb says, awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

“I’m listening,” she says, narrowing her eyes at him. I catch a playful smile behind her lips. The flirt that she is—it’s like she can’t even help it. She throws one leg over the other, revealing a sexy slit in her long baby-blue dress. Any guy with eyes would be googly-eyed over her right now.

But yet, my eyes travel to Caleb’s—and I’m pleasantly surprised to find he’s looking at me too.

Suddenly, I feel weird that we’re even here at all. But I remind myself that we came for a reason.

For answers.

“I know this is weird but… we actually came to see you. Separately, but—”

“—Ended up finding each other,” Caleb finishes, “and decided to come see you together.”

I lick my lips and swallow harshly as I look at his face. We came looking for her…but ended up finding so much more.

“So… you two did all of this for me?” Her smile stretches fully across her face. “I can’t believe it.” She gasps into a giggle. She covers her mouth with her delicate fingers as though she’s embarrassed by how giddy this makes her. “I mean, I can believe you doing it, Caleb, but… Nathan—” She holds onto my arm, looking at me softly. “After the way we left things in New York, I wouldn’t have thought you’d do something like this.”

I look down at my hands. “Yeah… I’m not proud of how I reacted. I had some things I needed to figure out…”

My eyes drift up to the man standing beside us. He shifts awkwardly on his feet. I can tell he’s uncomfortable. Every part of me wants to walk over to him and calm him down. But would that be weird? Does he want her to know? What would I even tell her? Dammit, this is so complicated.
