“The plan is over,” I tell Josh.

“What do you mean?”

“I messed up,” I say, but I don’t know if I did. Maybe it’s for the best that I finally revealed the secret I’d been carrying. Ever since I told Hayes, I’ve felt lighter. Besides, he was right. My vendetta against Ashley isn’t healthy. And now that I’ve talked to Hayes, I can’t be sure if I really wanted him back for me or if it had to do with Ashley all along. And now I just want to forget the whole thing. To move on with my life, like Hayes told me too.

Josh’s eyes narrow. “What did you do?”

So I tell him. I share the entire conversation I had with Hayes.

When I finish, he stares at me in disbelief. “But that wasn’t the plan,” he says, stating the obvious. “Why would you do that without talking to me first?”

“Because it wasn’t about you, Josh. It was about me, and what I needed to do.”

He nods slowly. “Okay, but that doesn’t mean we have to abandon the plan completely.” I can see the wheels in his head turning.

Before he can spout off some new tactic, I cut him off, “I don’t even think I want Hayes back anymore. I’m done, okay?” Whirling around, I attempt to leave.

But Josh’s hand stops me. His fingers circle around my wrist tightly. “Wait,” he says. “You’re still coming to the wedding with me, right?”

I peer over my shoulder at him and shake my head. “I can’t.”

“But you’re the one who convinced me to go,” he says.

“You’ll be fine without me.”

“I didn’t even want to go, and now I have to alone?” He grunts in frustration. “Are you freakin’ kidding me?”

I turn to him. “Josh, I really am sorry.”

He moves closer to me, his hands gently resting on my waist. “Please, Talia. Just come with me to the wedding like we planned.”

“I’m sure you can find someone else to take.”

“The wedding’s this weekend. Who will I find on such short notice?”

I shrug, acutely aware of the fact that his hands are still on my waist. “I don’t know. Why don’t you call up one of the girls in your little black book? Surely you have one.”

“Very funny,” he says dryly.

I smile. “I’m sure you’ll work it out.”

His grip tightens on me. “I don’t want to go with anyone else. I want to go with you.”

“Josh, the jig is up,” I say, wondering what he’s not understanding. Wriggling, I slip out of his grip. “I came on to Hayes. He’s going to figure out that this is a farce. There’s no reason to keep this up.”

“Damn it, Talia, will you stop? Listen to what I’m saying,” he snaps, and I freeze at the intensity in his voice. “I’m not asking you to play this game anymore. I’m asking you to come to my dad’s wedding because I can’t do this alone. And I don’t just want anyone there with me. I want you.” His face nears mine. When he lowers it, his nose gently nuzzles my cheek.
