Jane took a step toward me as Luke moved around to the back to unload the kids. “I opened the family safe deposit box today to get my passport and I found an envelope with your dad’s name on it in Will’s writing.”

“That is definitely weird. Did you open it?” I asked as I hugged her.

She hugged me back. “No, I figured I’d let your dad open it.” As we pulled apart, Luke came around the car with Trevor’s kids. “Hi, Luke. Hey, kids,” she said.

“Hey, Jane,” Luke’s voice was cautious as he returned Jane’s hug. Hugging was a good sign, right?

I was worried about how she would take the news that I was back with Luke. I had been texting with her, so she knew it was a possibility, but seeing it in person made it seem so much more real. I looked at her, unsure of how to bring it up. I shouldn’t have worried though. Jane always knew just what to say. “I’m glad you’re back, Luke. You should have never left.” She smiled sadly. She was my roommate and best friend, then later my sister-in-law. She knew how I felt about Luke, and I hoped she knew that I would always love Will too.

This situation had awkward written all over it.

“We’re not going to be awkward,” she said, as if reading my mind. I didn’t know what to say to that. Apparently, Luke didn’t either because we both just looked at her with big eyes.

Madison held my hand, and Mikey, for once, didn’t say a word.

Jane continued, “It’s just—I love you, Lily.”

Then she looked at Luke. “I missed you when you were gone, Luke. You were a good friend, and I hope we can be friends again.” A determined look crossed her face. “My brother was no fool. Will knew the score when he went after you, Lily. But he’s gone. He wouldn’t want you to be alone. I don’t want you to be alone, and I don’t want you to feel weird around me. I’m happy for you. I believe, from the bottom of my heart, that Will would be happy for you too, so—no awkward, zero weirdness. We’re moving forward. Onward and upward and all that jazz.”

I hugged her again. “I love you, Jane.”

She smiled and hugged me back. “I love you too. Always. Is your dad around? We should give him the envelope. What if it’s important?”

“No, but he will be soon. Let’s go in. Mom and Gram are cooking dinner, and you know them, the more the merrier.”

“Awesome. I love your mom’s food. Um, is Ash here?” She looked nervous. Jane had a massive hopelessly-devoted-to-him, heart-eyed-emoji-come-to-life crush on my big brother. Ash was deliberately unaware of it, and it was heartbreaking to witness.
