CHAPTER TWELVE

It had been a week since I told Nick how I felt, and we had practically spent every spare minute together. I knew it was fast, but the way we met and the disasters that followed made it feel less awkward. To us it didn’t feel rushed. He had kissed me first and then I had kissed him as part of a game. What’s more awkward than that? When I was with him, all I thought about was, will this be my forever? I knew he lived in Washington with his father and that it was five hours away. In theory, that wasn’t a far drive to spend every weekend together. In reality, we both had jobs, which meant I’d be working weekends and he wouldn’t. This made me think about my past choices and what I went to college for.

Perhaps I should have chosen better —for the simple reason that the mere thought of not seeing him every day bothered me . . . immensely.

At that moment my mind should have been on the fact that his arms were wrapped around me, but all I thought about was, what if I never saw him again? My heart palpitated at the thought. Even though I was very aware of his hands moving across my back as we lay on the sofa watching television, my mind was elsewhere. He looked down at me, smiling, kissing my forehead. I couldn’t imagine not being with him. But I needed to know before things went any further.

“Nick ,” I whispered.

“Yeah,” he answered, shifting to reach the remote, and turned off the television, giving me his undivided attention, another thing I adored him for. Then he touched my cheek lovingly. “What’s on your mind?”

I could barely get the words out. My heart and mind were running wildly. “How did you know something was on my mind?”

“The look on your face,” he replied. Then, as his fingers stroked the sides of my face, my heart pounded even harder. I was afraid that if I said something it would undo everything that was so magical about us.

I sat up cleared my throat and spat it out. “When are you leaving?”

His eyes narrowed and he looked a little confused. “For— Washington?” he asked. I nodded, and then looked away. “I—I never even thought about it, to tell you the truth.” He sat up, taking my hand in his. “I’ve been enjoying this time with you so much that the last thing on my mind was leaving.”

“A—are you going back?” I asked and finally looked up at him.

“Eventually, yes. I have to.” His smile was thin and strained. “It’s not that far.”

“I know,” I replied, trying to smile. He was right it wasn’t far but do long distance relationships really work? Maybe I could move to Washington if things work out for us—just then the front door opened and Abigail’s voice bellowed down the hall from the front foyer.

“Nicholas, are you home, dear?” Her heels clacked on the marble floor as she made her way down the hall.
