Wes was worried about her, and he’d gone and screwed it up. They both had. Now they had lost some ground. He could see it in her eyes that she was holding something back—that she didn’t trust him as she once had. How could he blame her? He was shying away, wanting to keep this thing between them in its compartment. Not wanting to feel anything for her.

Except after he’d left the bakery, their fight gnawed at him like a dog with a bone. He had replayed their conversation in his head. Ginny wasn’t looking for real from him—she didn’t want to be with him. So this was still safe.

It was better this way. That they were only “together” in the barest definition of the word. Except that seemed so hollow and wrong. Even though their relationship was fake to the world, they had been real to each other.

What exactly did he want?

That was simple. He wanted to be in this fake relationship and be her friend. But that was it. So no more jerking her around. That wasn’t fair to her. If he was going to be her friend, he couldn’t back away like he had. He had to change—and that was going to be hard. Ginny wasn’t the only one who had problems. He had trust issues himself—he had things he needed to work out, too.

He’d broken up with his ex-girlfriend because she wanted marriage. And he didn’t. Though Wes and Megan had never moved in together, they were practically at each other’s places every other day. Getting married would be the next logical step to their relationship. Except he couldn’t imagine being married to her.

And he didn’t believe in the “forever” thing. Love didn’t last. Wes only had to look at his mom’s marriage to his dad. Apparently, at one time, they’d been crazy about each other. Then Dad had gone and cheated, and his mom would not—and could not—forgive him for the transgression. Especially when Dad had fallen in love with the other woman. They’d divorced, and Dad, a short while later, had gone on to marry her, having Jake, Seth, and TJ.

Even that second marriage hadn’t lasted. Dad and Nancy had divorced almost fourteen years ago, which had surprised all of them. Nancy had simply just said there had been irreconcilable differences and refused to speak ill of her ex-husband to her sons. Despite Nancy being the other woman, Wes had slowly grown to like her.

Most of it had been from his mom’s insistence, saying that even if Dad were a cheating scumbag, she still wanted Wes to have a relationship with his brothers. She never wanted him to cut himself off from his dad because he’d fallen in love and married someone else. Of course, Mom had cursed like a sailor when she’d said this. Wes smiled, even as pain fisted his heart. God, he still missed his mom. He always would.

Ginny came out of her bedroom, a coral kimono-styled cover up over a black bathing suit, a tote bag over one shoulder.
