When she arrived at the Union an hour later, it was already crowded. Standing on her tiptoes, she searched the crowd for Will and found him sitting on a stool at the far end of the bar. They locked eyes at the same time, and he smiled and waved her over. Turning sideways, she squeezed through the mass of people who were waiting for tables and went to join him.

“Glad you could make it,” he said.

She hadn’t seen him in a while, and she thought he looked particularly handsome that evening. His eyes were sparkling, and she caught a whiff of nice-smelling cologne as he swiveled around on his stool to face her. Did he do all this for me? I hope not. But it was obvious that he had.

“What would you like to drink?” he asked as he waved the bartender over.

“I’ll have a rum and Coke.” She needed something stronger than a beer to do what she had to do.

After Will placed her order, they settled back to wait.

Might as well make small talk before my drink gets here. “How was your ski trip?”

“Really good. It was nice to hook up with my old friends. Well, not hook up, but you know what I mean.”

If she weren’t mistaken, Will seemed nervous, and she wondered why. But then her cocktail arrived, and she took a long drink of it, enjoying the warm, tingly sensation it left behind as it slid down her throat. You can do this, Harper.

“So, what about you? What have you been up to since I last saw you?”

Oh, nothing, except for making out with Finn in his living room. She let her eyes travel down the bar while she decided how to respond and stopped short. There, at the opposite end of the bar, sat Finn and Liam, drinking beer and watching football on the big screen mounted behind the bar.

Great! The joys of living in a small town. She couldn’t go anywhere without running into someone that she knew. As if he sensed her eyes upon him, Finn looked up from his drink and made eye contact with her, a flicker of surprise flashing across his gorgeous face. And then he caught sight of Will, and giving her a forced smile, he held up his beer bottle in salute.

The entire transaction took less than thirty seconds, but Harper had almost forgotten that Will was there. And then Will cleared his throat and said, “Does he know?”

Jerking her eyes away from Finn, she said, “Does who know what?”

“Does Finn know how you feel about him?”

Oh God. Her first impulse was to deny, deny, deny, but then the mature part of her brain kicked in. “Will, I…”

“It’s ok, Harper. I had a feeling about this anyway.”

“You did? When? How?”

He chuckled, but it wasn’t a happy sound. “That first night when he showed up at the pub. I sensed that there was more between you two than friendship, but I wanted to be wrong.”

Twisting her hands in her lap, she said, “I’m so sorry, Will.
