TWENTY-TWO

Wyatt

The last twenty-four hours had crawled by. Calla ended up bowing out of our shopping trip, mentioning that my meddling little brother had asked her to send him a list and he’d deliver the goods later in the day. I couldn’t be too frustrated with him because he was doing the same for me, so it saved me a trip.

That said, I would’ve had that time with Calla in the car each way. I could’ve seen what she chose in the store. I’d know what brands she picked for herself and what items she lingered over before buying or if she just dumped everything in a hurry and escaped when someone noticed her.

But finally, finally, the time had come. I pulled up right to the door, relieved the weather hadn’t changed from the forecasted and literal calm before the storm. She’d also confirmed her interest in eating out when I’d texted her earlier, so we’d have a break from my house. Not that I didn’t like my place, because I did. But Warrick could barge in at any point. Privacy wasn’t all that elusive, but it was unpredictable. And for some reason, I wanted to be with her in a more official way.

I wanted to create the same kind of setup I would’ve had with a date from the app. In what might be a little messed up, I wanted to test this out and see how it felt to be out with her like I’d been with other failed dates. Granted, a private room had never been part of the deal before, but that was as close as I could get to direct mimicry of my other first dates.

This new perspective I had, thanks to my little lightning bolt in the barn a week ago, had shaken me. And what I’d realized after she’d said yes was exactly this—I couldn’t pretend I hadn’t felt what I did whenever I saw her. There was every reason to believe it might be the most cram-packed night of my life in terms of sheer desire.

Based on every interaction with her, it would feel nothing like the other dates for about fifteen different reasons. Everything about preparing for this, anticipating it, felt more demanding and thrilling than the others. And even that small shift made me dangerously close to being giddy just to see her. Just to know I was finally doing something that felt like taking a chance and really living. Whether it was Calla in particular or simply waking up from the fog I’d been living under—or maybe the nitrous oxide was a better image—I couldn’t say. And while I had my suspicions, the only way I’d ever know was to try. So here we were.

Only half a minute after I knocked, the door swung open and revealed her buttoning up her black wool knee-length coat. Her hair came down in long, luscious waves that looked so soft and gorgeous and shook me by the shoulders—I wanted to touch it so bad.
