Present Day

I SAT AT TERMINAL TWO at O’Hare International Airport, tapping my fingers against the steering wheel. Everything about this moment was so familiar—the ache in my chest, the dread in my heart, the lump in my throat—and I was getting really frickin’ tired of saying good-bye.

To keep from tearing up, I focused on the car in front of me as we idled at the drop-off area. I’d never experienced a breakup before, but I could imagine it was the same feeling as dropping Jimmy off at the airport. It was like a portion of my heart was fractured, and he was taking that piece with him.

“Hey…” He nudged me with his elbow.

When our eyes caught, I noticed the same sadness in his. I gave him a small smile.

He swallowed. “I know we won’t see each other until the start of the season, but I’m going to call you. All right?”

I nodded, unable to speak as the soreness in my throat intensified. Jimmy was always busy during preseason. This was his second year playing pro. I remembered last year and how much practice and conditioning had worn him down. He wouldn’t have time to fly back home once the season started. I was prepared for this. Still, it sucked the life out of me that I wouldn’t be able to see him for months.

“Hey,” he repeated in a soothing voice as he lifted my chin.

“I’ll see you at your game.” I offered him a shaky small smile.

He knew I’d be there. I’d been to every first game of the season since college, so I’d be there.

Not soon enough.

I wondered how much more my heart could take.

He cupped the back of my neck, bringing me closer. When his eyes flickered to my lips, my pulse raced at our proximity. For a brief moment, I thought he might kiss me. He leaned in. I held my breath and closed my eyes—waiting, hoping, wishing. He pulled me in closer and then kissed the top of my head instead. My shoulders slumped as he released me.

“I’ll miss you, Boo.” There was a quiver in his voice. He glanced back one last time, stepped out, and shut the door behind him.

The scent of his aftershave lingered in the air. I could still feel his lips on me, the impression of his mouth on the top of my head. My heart stammered in my chest as I was brought back to the day when he’d had more than his lips on me. He’d had his hands all over me, too.
