Tish fell back on my bed, throwing her hand up to her forehead groaning in agony. “I can’t believe you. You leave here, take him all over this romantic journey through our town, tell him everything about your childhood and growing up, tell him the story of Clara, and then you don’t sleep with him. Do you hear that story like I do? Last night you could’ve been making sweet, sweet love to an extremely hot famous author. But instead, you came back here, mourned your freaking cat for a while, and went to bed by yourself.”

I chuckled as I folded clothes, shaking my head. “You are so dramatic. You should write romance novels. Seriously. Yes, it was very bonding, and very romantic, but is one night in a bed-and-breakfast worth the heartbreak that comes after it when he tells me he’s leaving and never coming back?”

Tish sat up quickly, her hair flying everywhere. “Yes. I would have to say yes without a thought.”

I sighed and smoothed the wrinkles out of one of my shirts. “No. The answer is no. So imagine I had said that I did sleep with him, and we had this romantic night in his bed and then tomorrow you have to be the one to come over and nurse me back to health again, right after you just did it, because he too breaks my heart.”

She leaned over on her side, holding her head up with her hand. “Honestly? For this guy, I would totally nurse you back to health for as long as it took. I would get to live vicariously through you enjoying every millisecond of your amazing romance story. You would become Clara.”

Scrunching my brow and shaking my head, I put my hands out to the sides. “No, I wouldn’t. Clara was married, her husband left for war which he could not get out of, and then died. That is nowhere near the same thing as me consciously choosing to fall for a guy, sleep with him, and then say goodbye knowing he was leaving. That is nowhere near the same thing. On top of that, I do not want to be Clara. I do not want to live my entire life completely heartbroken and then throw myself off of a cliff just so people, 200 years later could say they heard me whispering in the wind when it’s a bunch of bull crap.”

Tish’s mouth fell open and she gasped. “Oh no, you’ve already fallen in love with him.”

I scoffed hanging up a shirt. “No, I have not. Don’t be stupid.”

She jolted upward. “Yes, you have. Not only are you getting defensive when I say it, but you just said that the legend of Clara is bull crap. I have known you your whole life, and you have always loved that story. You have based your entire romantic life on finding your war hero. And I don’t literally mean war hero… you know what I mean… whatever. You have based your entire romantic life on the story of Clara Cliffs.
