“Stop obsessing over the photos!” Charlie yells from the door of my bedroom.

I want to ignore her, but it’s difficult because my small bedroom doesn’t give me the luxury of space. Though she stands at the entrance to my room, she’s only a foot away from my bed where I’m sitting with my laptop, going over Jax and Stella’s wedding photos for the hundredth time.

“I know. I just want to make sure they’re perfect.”

“They are. They have been since you edited them the first time three weeks ago. Enough. Save whatever you have. Upload them, and send the file to Stella. Done.” She swipes her hands together in the classic all-done movement.

“Okay. Okay. Jeez.”

I go to click out of the file, and I realize that I’m staring at a picture of Jax—without Stella. He’s staring off into the distance with the most serene expression on his face. His lips are turned up into a grin, and overall, he just looks so damn content. He’s drop-dead gorgeous, too. This picture breaks me every time. I remember capturing this shot. This was his face as he watched Stella walking down the aisle.

I don’t know what I expected. Obviously, he loves her because he married her. But I can’t get over the way in which he loves her. He adores her. It is evident in the way he looks at her.

And it hurts so much.

I’m being selfish. I should be thrilled that Jax has found someone who puts that smile on his face. As his friend, I should want that for him. And I do, somewhere deep down. But I can’t find that joy for him because I can’t seem to break through the pain that has been living on the surface since he told me he was engaged.

Then, there is the random declaration of love in the parking lot of the reception hall, which I still can’t make heads or tails of. It was like he was talking to me in code, trying to tell me something that I wasn’t getting. And I felt it then—his love for me. I’d know that feeling anywhere. It was there, and it was real. But then why did he marry her? Jax isn’t one to go into a commitment lightly. I felt like he was telling me to wait for him, that his marriage wouldn’t last forever. But that can’t be right. It doesn’t make sense.

Maybe he was just confused. I was upset, and he hurt for me because a part of him still loves me. I know it’s possible to love more than one person at a time. I didn’t stop loving Jax because I was dating Trenton. I think if you truly love someone, a part of you will always love that person. That has to be it.

“Damn it, Lil. Snap out of it.”

I feel my laptop being yanked from my lap.

“Hey!” I protest.

“It’s six o’clock. The guys are going to be here in an hour, and you haven’t even showered yet. Send the damn file, and be done.
