OK. Great. You need to take a shuttle to Carmel. It’s $40. Just follow the signs to the bus station and you’ll see it there. By the time you get to Carmel, I’ll have sent you an itinerary.

She puts the phone to her forehead then texts.

Why are you being so nice to me?

Because nobody deserves to be alone and unhappy on their birthday.

Thank you! And sorry if I seemed a bit antisocial. I’m not pretending to be, that’s just how I am ha-ha. I’m a bit of a mess. Don’t like being alone, but I’m not great with people either.

Don’t worry, you’re doing great. And, you’re very welcome.

Fifty-Two

It is absolutely surreal to see things from Max’s perspective. It’s like being in his mind.

Now I know what Alisa meant when she said his version of events is different than mine. He saw me. He knows what I look like. I never imagined he made it all the way to the airport that day. I wish I knew. I wish I’d have lifted my eyes and looked on. Maybe I would’ve spotted him.

It makes me laugh seeing he also thought what we did was crazy. It was. The craziest thing I’ve ever done in my life. And it’s interesting that so far, only my name is true to what happened. He changed David’s name, although he kept it close.

I read on. I’m dying to know more.

June After Midnight

Chapter 20

Would she freak out if she knew I boarded the Carmel bus with her? Would she think I’m a weirdo who follows women under the pretext that he’s trying to be nice and helpful? Probably. Is it too far from the truth? For one thing, I’ve never done this before, so there’s that for an excuse.

My intention was definitely not to scare her. I just want to make sure she’s alright. Just want to keep an eye on her. I do feel responsible. Typical me. I do something out of character, and then spend an eternity trying to fix it. It’s only for one day though. Not even a full day. A few hours. Tomorrow she’ll be on a plane to New York and that will be it. She’ll get back to her life and I’ll get back to mine. No harm done. But, if I do my job right, perhaps she will always remember this day. And not for being cheated on, but for having a great adventure.

I sat in the back of the bus and made sure I put Daniel’s phone on silent. Who doesn’t have a password on their phone in this day and age? A stupid guy. I didn’t mean to go through his photos and messages, or maybe I did, I don’t know. I wanted to find something more to justify my actions, I guess. There are tons of women’s numbers in here, so, even if I had any doubts—which I didn’t—now they’re gone. He’s a big douche. He’s on Tinder too, wow! Why would he be on Tinder if he’s in a serious relationship?
