CALLIE

The bottle of wine I drank after getting home from that showdown with Jackson didn’t really help and only results in a monster headache on Saturday morning. Seeing him again after all these months…

He was as gorgeous as ever. The firm jaw and the rough stubble on his face. His strong eyebrows and the flat, arrow shape of his nose. At one point when we were arguing, he stepped so close I could smell his aftershave.

The familiar woodsy pine brought on a rush of memories I can’t help losing myself in: the stubble of Jackson’s cheek rasping on my neck as he kissed his way to my ear. Breathing him in while I clutched him close as he thrust into me, over and over again. Him mastering me…

But he’s been fucking following you.

I snap my eyes open and then go to wash my face with cold water. No. I will not be thinking about Jackson Vale anymore.

I spend the rest of the weekend marathoning the second season of Outlander with my sister, Shannon. Thankfully Shannon is addicted to two things in life: strong coffee and immersive TV shows. When we have marathon TV sessions, she gets more lost in the story of the on-screen characters than anyone I’ve ever met. Perfect for me since it means she’s too caught up to concern herself with what’s going on in my life. So I spend the weekend watching TV, eating ice cream, folding laundry, and texting Lydia.

What I do not do, however, is let myself think about any of the things that came out of Jackson Vale’s mouth.

Nope. Not happening. I’m officially checked out for the weekend. The only drama I can handle is of the 18th-century Scottish variety.

And, in small doses, Lydia’s. Lydia rarely has drama, after all. She’s really into the redhead from Friday night, Shayna. Turns out they didn’t hook up that first night. Instead they hung out and walked around downtown San Fran in what apparently turned into one of those epic all night get-to-know-you sessions that ended after sunrise and pancakes.

She only slept a few hours before waking up and immediately blowing up my phone with texts about every detail of the night. After more pings coming in before I can even text back, I finally just call her and we talk for about an hour.

I’ve never heard her so excited about a girl. When we finally hang up I feel the briefest stab of something in my gut. Jealousy? No, I don’t think that’s it. Maybe just the hurt of a memory when I’d been similarly happy at the beginning of what I imagined might be a great relationship. Which leads back to thoughts of Jackson and the confusing tangle of thoughts and emotions and…

“Come on,” Shannon calls. “How long does it take to go to the bathroom? They’re about to land back in Scotland. That means we’ll get to see Jamie in a kilt again. Get your butt back in here!”

Yeah. Time to check out of my own life again.
