Now, as we drove through the base, he was quiet, looking straight ahead. I stared out the side window, trying to prevent myself from crying. Maybe he didn’t want anything to do with me after dancing with Nicki. Maybe he realized he did have feelings for her. All of a sudden I couldn’t wait to get out of this car and run to my room and hide as I normally did when anything bothered me.
