THE FOLLOWING DAY, Anne was regretting her decision to join her friends on Robert’s weekend trip to the beach.

A friend of his had a large beach house on Virginia Beach, and he’d invited Robert for the weekend and any friends he wanted to take to come with him. The house had eight rooms, so there was plenty of room for anyone who wanted to come. Vince and Liz were coming. So were Jane and Charlie. Ward had volunteered to stay with Em’s housebound father since he had work to do that weekend anyway, so Em was able to come. So was Riot. Anne had thought it was going to be fine since the group wouldn’t all be couples. She had no good reason to refuse a free weekend at a nice beach house, especially since all her friends would be there.

But she was all riled up emotionally about being in close quarters with Robert. More so than she’d expected.

She was clearly not the kind of person who could do casual sex. She would always get attached, and she was already far too attached to Robert, despite all the changes in him since college.

Being with him that night had made her want him even more, in spite of all the evidence of his feeling nothing for her but resentment.

So she’d decided it was best to just avoid him. His leg was improving, so hopefully he’d go back to work soon. Leave Pemberley House. Leave the country. Put miles and miles of distance between them.

It was better that way.

She’d made sure she was in a different car from Robert on the drive across the state, so that had gone fine. But once they’d arrived, they all started hanging out together—in the pool, at the beach, in the big living room of the house.

And Robert was always right there, looking big and handsome and sober and sexy.

It was highly disturbing.

He was hanging out with Riot a lot again, and she tried to tell herself that was a good thing. Riot had improved a lot in the past year. She was still immature but not impossibly so. Maybe she and Robert would be happy together.

She tried to believe it.

If she thought about it too much, she’d know there was no hope in believing Robert belonged with Riot, so she did what she could to distract herself.

In the evening of the day they arrived, Robert’s friend came over to the house to hang out, and he brought a friend named Brian.

Brian was cute in a quiet, geeky way, and he kept himself apart from everyone else as they grilled outside and hung out by the pool. Anne liked the looks of him. He looked kind, and that was always the most important thing to her.

She’d been hanging out with Em, but eventually she couldn’t stand the sight of Robert and Riot giggling over the grill as he worked on the burgers. So she walked to the other side of the pool deck to where Brian was sitting alone.
