Her hand firmly in mine, I turn back, reach for the door and lead us through. She can ponder on that thought for a moment. I have never opened up to anyone about my feelings like I just did with Avery. It makes me feel kind of raw. I just want to be alone with her, but I have a house full of guest. I lead her around back with her hand still securely in mine, we drop her purse off with Peyton behind the bar and move to the dance floor where I can at least have her in my arms.

Luckily, we walk up as a slow song begins. With a flick and a twirl to place her right where I want her, against my chest, she snuggles in to accept my embrace as my arms wrap around her waist, and we sway slowly side to side.

I’m lost in thoughts of Avery and how this is all one fucked up story. For weeks now, I’ve been confused about my own feelings, including the tug-of-war going on with the man that I’ve been until now. I had to come to terms with the fact that there is nothing about this situation that is remotely like my buddy’s in Seattle.

“Yes, please.” Her voice is scratchy, laced with something. Need? Want? Desire?

Like a vise grip, I refuse to let go and keep ahold of her hand. We grab some drinks from Peyton and sit at a table in the back corner of my yard.

Harper did an amazing job setting this all up. She is a real pro at party planning. There’s a food buffet arranged in the dining room, a full functioning bar straddling the outside entrance, a dance floor on my large patio that ends just before the pool. Different size tables along with chairs are strung throughout, so people can be comfortable to mingle around.

“How was working with Harper?” Curious, since I don’t really know her. We’ve only met a couple of times at Mickey’s, yet she always had that asshole with wondering eyes by her side.

“It was great! She works hard and is creative with fabulous ideas; it was very interesting as well as a lot of fun. She is going through some rough stuff right now, so I think this party was a great distraction.”

“Yeah, Jordan, Tyler’s girlfriend and Harper’s best friend, said that she wanted to have this party to help Harper keep her mind off of the breakup.”

“It looks like something or someone
