AFTER A LONG, hot shower, I pulled on my favorite pair of yoga pants and oversized tee and climbed into bed with two textbooks. Last night had been an odd detour, but I was ready to get back on my safe and boring path.

Julia sat at her desk, working on a newspaper article. She was quiet, and more than once, I caught her gazing at me, her brows knit and her mouth tight.

Finally, after her second deep sigh, I flipped over my book and punched a pillow into shape behind me.

“Okay, what’s going on, Jules? Clearly you have something on your mind. Just say it. I can’t concentrate when you keep looking at me like I just got a death sentence.”

“It’s this thing with Liam. Are you sure you know what you’re doing?”

I frowned. “What am I doing? I agreed we’d be friends. No different than what you and I both have with Giff. What’s the big deal?”

Julia turned in her chair and looped her arm over the back, hooking her feet on a rung. “The big deal is that this isn’t Giff, it’s Liam. Giff can be our friend because he’s not looking to get us into bed. Can you say the same about Liam?”

I twisted my hair into a knot. “I gave him rules. He knows what I want. And what I don’t want.” I tried to forget his so-called hand spasm and the casual good-bye kiss. Those were probably aberrations.

“I’m just saying, keep your eyes open. I’m not angry with Liam anymore, but I’m also not sure I trust him.”

I nodded. She wasn’t telling me anything I didn’t know. I wasn’t ready to think about it too hard. Not when I was still getting over last night. Changing the subject seemed like a good idea.

“So how was the game last night?”

Julia brightened. “So much fun. We went with a couple of Jesse’s friends from grad school, and it was a great game.”

“I’m glad you had a good time.” I stuck my legs back under the covers. “I’m serious, you know? I’m so happy for you and Jesse.”

Julia smiled, but her eyes clouded. “That sounds like there’s a but at the end.”

“No, no but. Maybe an and. I’m happy for you, and I need to get used to the fact that you’re going to be spending more time with him. The last few months have been quiet around here for me.”

“Oh, my God, Ava, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to leave you alone so much. I guess I’m just used to you being blinders-on for school, and I didn’t think about making sure you didn’t feel left out.”

“Jules, that’s not what I’m trying to say. It’s just an adjustment. We’ve been each other’s best friend since we started college, and we didn’t ever have to worry about being alone. But things are bound to change. After next year, we’ll be going in different directions.”

Julia sniffled. “I thought we were both going to live in New York. I’m going
