Five days later, Bronwyn grabbed her mail and walked upstairs to her third-floor apartment. She had an exam tomorrow and another on Friday. She needed to study. Her flight to see Mo had messed up her schedule and she . . . oh, who was she kidding? The flight wasn’t the problem. The emotional atomic bomb that Mo had detonated was the problem.

She’d spent more time than was healthy over the past few days rehashing every second of their encounter. She’d been sure he would respect her for showing up in person rather than writing a letter.

She couldn’t have been more wrong.

She wasn’t sure what she’d expected him to say, but she hadn’t been prepared for the anger.

Which was stupid on her part. She should have been. Her mistake had been thinking he was still the gentle soul she’d left behind.

Mo had been her person. Her playmate, her confidante, her best friend, her crush, and her first and only love. And that’s how she still thought of him. She’d been unprepared for the reality that the boy who’d loved her had grown into a man who hated her—and had some serious anger issues.

She tossed her backpack into a chair and sorted through the mail.

Her hand froze as her mind registered the distinctive handwriting.

Her breathing came fast and hard as she ripped open Mo’s letter. It took several rounds of intentional breath work to avoid hyperventilating before she could read his words.

Dear Bronwyn,

It’s my turn to apologize. I’m sorry for what I said, for the way I said it, and for the anger that I allowed to take over.

You were trying to do the right thing. I can see that now—and I can respect it—because I would much rather be having this conversation in person, and if it were possible, I would have gotten on a plane and come to do just that.

To top it all off, after going on and on about how my address didn’t change, I find myself in the awkward position of having to say that I can’t tell you where I am or how long I’ll be here or when I’ll be home.

But if I do make it home, I would like to apologize in person, and I would like to hear the explanation you wanted to give.

I’m not rational when it comes to you. Never have been. Never will be.

I don’t expect you to believe this, but I regretted everything I said almost as soon as I said it. I went inside the restaurant, fully intending to enjoy the evening as planned, but five minutes in, I bailed on my buddies and took off in the direction you’d gone.

I’ve missed you. And I’ve missed our friendship. I’m glad you’re getting your life sorted out. So glad.

Anyway, I’ll find you when I get home. And if you’re up for it, we’ll talk.

Mo

Bronwyn stared at the letter.

She reread it ten times over the next two days.

She knew she should forgive him.

But she wouldn’t.

She pulled a pen out and wrote over the top of his last words.
