I'm sure at this point even you think I'm crazy. Maybe you're like Bridge, who would just shake me right now, trying to physically knock some sense into me. Bridge, who has a perfect loving family. Bridge, who always achieves whatever goal she's chasing. Bridge, who makes a decision and goes with it. Or maybe you know what it's like to have been abandoned, to have your trust shattered. Maybe, just maybe, you understand me.

I spend the entire next day buried in work, following the other girls from show to show, head hidden behind my notebook. Any time the conversation veers toward anything personal, I walk away, pretending I just saw something I need to jot down. And I know avoiding an issue doesn’t make it disappear, but I just don't want to hear them talk about Ollie, about how cute we are together, because if there's even an ounce of insincerity in their tone, it'll just crush me to pieces. I'd really started to think that maybe things between Ollie and me were real, maybe we were ready to tell Bridge, maybe we were actually meant to be together.

And then last night happened.

And I know it's stupid and ridiculous and probably just my own insecurities taking over, but how do I fight them? How do you get rid of the doubts, the fears, the anxieties? How do you take that final leap of faith and rely on love?

Trust your gut, people say.

Believe in yourself.

Follow your heart.

But what if your gut is a constant swarm of nerves, and your heart has played tricks on you before? What then?

I don't know.

Maybe at that point you're just plain broken.

"Skye!"

It’s Blythe calling after me, but I just keep walking, pretending I didn’t hear. There's a carton of Rocky Road with my name on it back home, and that's all I'm focusing on right now.

Too bad she's annoyingly persistent.

"Skye," she says again and grabs my shoulder. I pivot on my heels, because, for a skinny blonde, she's surprisingly strong.

"Ow," I whine.

Blythe crosses her arms, shrugging. "You shouldn't have pretended you didn’t hear me."

Okay…valid.

I sigh. "What?"

"Listen, I have something I feel like I should tell you, but at the same time, I don't think you'll believe me, so will you just come with me?"

I stare at her blankly. "What?"

Blythe flares her nostrils in annoyance and then decides to try a different approach. "Your boyfriend, I've met him before, right?"

"Um…" I scroll back through my thoughts. And then it hits me. "Yeah! Last Halloween, the party on the yacht. Patrick let me bring Ollie, his date—"

"The Rockette," Blythe scorns, curling her upper lip.

And for once I agree. "Yeah, the Rockette," I say, tone dark. Because she was perfectly lovely, but, blech. Any girl Ollie dated, especially anyone as gorgeous and kind and dancer-y as she was, is by default on my ick-list. Before my thoughts linger, I get us both back on topic. "And my friend Bridge came too."

Blythe nods, eyes flashing.

I'm immediately suspicious. "What's going on?"

She frowns.
