Chapter Nine

Spending time with Becca was really great. Ashton was relieved to find that she hadn’t changed much, at least not in any ways that made him dislike her now that they were older. They seemed to mesh well together, like they always had, and they entertained some wild ideas about travelling on trips. That wasn’t the sort of thing that he imagined they’d end up talking about. When they left the café that afternoon, they made a concrete promise that they’d see each other again before he went back to New York.

“And not just to talk about the dog,” he pointed out. “I’d like to go on another date with you.”

Becca’s face lit up at the word ‘date’ almost as if she’d been wondering if that’s what it was. It certainly was a date in his opinion.

When he got back to his parents’ house, his mom wouldn’t stop grinning at him. “Nice girl, that Becca Chapman,” she said in her sort of nosey mother type voice.

Ashton scoffed a bit at her, but he nodded his head. There was no denying that Becca was a nice girl. “She is. We’re going to see each other again soon. I just don’t know what we’ll do yet.”

“A girl like that might be a good reason for you to stay here in Meridian,” his mom said, her voice seeming to trail off with its suggestiveness.

“I’m not going to stay here, Ma,” he said, pretending to complain more than he really was. He liked that his mom wished that he’d stay, just like he appreciated that Becca imagined doing a bunch of things in Colorado with him. The thing was, he did have a job and a life back in New York City. He didn’t want to give up his future just because he liked his past. The thing about the past, much like this town, was that it couldn’t really be changed. It was stagnant. He knew that eventually, he’d feel the pull to head to NYC and back to the career and lifestyle that was waiting for him there. His assistant Alexa wasn’t going to be able to stand in for him at meetings forever. It wasn’t responsible for a CEO to be MIA all of the time. My head is in the clouds whenever I see Becca, he thought. Getting her to come to New York would probably be best idea, because I’d still be able to get my work done and I could play the host…

She’d mentioned wanting to go to Denver with him, though. He hadn’t been to a Broncos game in about a million years. He wondered if his dad still had season tickets. And would she be interested?

When they were in high school, Becca was never a fan of football, not even the games at their school. But perhaps that was something about her that had changed.

He went and found his dad lounging in the den near Skipper, who was happily sleeping upside down in his dog bed.
