CHAPTER 14

JAMESON

HEATHER TRIES TO DISTRACT TYLER from his pool shot by unbuttoning the top button of her blouse. He sinks two balls anyway.

“Am I supposed to congratulate you for that?” she teases. “I thought chivalry was alive and well. You’re supposed to let me win.”

Heather looks up at me and asks, “When is Kendall coming? The women need more players on our team.”

“I don’t know. When I talked to her yesterday, she said she was really looking forward to it. It is not like Kendall to run late.”

“You might want to look at your phone,” Tara instructs.

“I didn’t hear it ring.”

“Check it anyway,” she replies. “Don’t respond right away. Think about it for a while. You know Kendall well enough to know that she wouldn’t do anything to hurt you,” Tara says mysteriously.

Knowing Tara’s reputation, my heart sinks to my toes as I dig my phone out of my pocket. Sure enough, there is a voicemail from Kendall. I plug my earbud in and walk outside so I can hear it.

Kendall’s voice sounds clogged with tears as I listen to the recording. “Shoot! I was hoping to be able to talk to you about this, but maybe it’s easier I don’t. For now, I think it would be better if I don’t see you. I need to talk to Tyler about this first before we make any radical moves ... but for now we need to stay apart.”

I stuff the phone back in my pocket and try to make sense of it all. I come up with nothing. I thought things were getting better between us since we started climbing at Aidan’s place. Our relationship seemed to be moving in the right direction and she acted like things were getting back to where they were before we talked about her ex-fiancé and Quinn. I know I blew that conversation. I’ve apologized to Kendall several times. I thought we’d put that behind us. I don’t know what this is about. I guess there’s only one way to find out. I stride back into the pub and tap Tyler on the shoulder. “I need to talk to you.”

“Right now? I’m kind of in the middle of something,” Ty responds.

I mess with my baseball cap and bounce my weight from foot to foot. “I know — but this is important.”

He looks at Heather, Tara and Aidan. “I guess I’ll be right back. Order me some cheesy fries, will you?”

“Sure thing. If you’re not back, we’ll just eat without you,” Aidan replies with a shrug.

Tyler and I walk out to my rental car. “You’ve been here long enough that it might be cheaper for you just to buy a car,” he says as he observes my tags.

“Yeah, I know. I’ve decided I like this car so much that I’m going to buy one just like it from their fleet sale. I’ll just give it to my parents when I go home.”

“I figured you might want to stick around. I thought you and Kendall were a done deal.
