“You know you two are disgusting, right?” I tease Hattie as we watch Shep walk into the locker room—after a very public display of affection. The two of them have been in that early relationship stage ever since the Christmas party where they can’t keep their hands off of each other and they’re so cute that you want to puke just watching them. At least the night had ended well for someone.

I’d tried to ignore AJ—Rizzo, I remind myself for the hundredth time. AJ was a secret name for when things were maybe heading somewhere. Rizzo is the name for my platonic friend. I’d tried to ignore Rizzo and had failed. I’d tried to flirt with some new guy in Accounting that I can’t even remember his name and that had felt terrible. I’d searched for Rizzo and when he was nowhere to be found, my heart had sank, thinking the worst and assuming he’d found someone else to take to his bed for the night. I’d gone to my room and admittedly cried myself to sleep. Not my finest moment. I still haven’t figured out exactly why I freaked out so much that night as his apartment other than the intense fear of being hurt. I guess that’s the answer, really, just a fear of getting my heartbroken. That’s never actually happened before. I’ve had a few semi-serious boyfriends over the years, but I’d been the one to break things off every time…ah shit, I realize with a start. I’d dumped each of them when things started to shift into serious-serious.

Oh God, I really am the one with the commitment issues, not Rizzo.

And I’d freaked out because I knew without a doubt that I wouldn’t be the one to walk away from Rizzo. If we started things, I’d be in the for the long haul and give him the power to break my heart. Not just break it, but fucking shatter it, because…I’m already in love with him. Shit, shit, shit. This is a lot to process all at once so I force all of these big revelations away and focus back on Hattie.

She grins at me and winks. “I know, I know…but ask me if I care.”

I laugh and bump her shoulder. “I’m really happy for you, you know that right?”

“Thanks, Nat. It’s felt like such a long time coming even though we’ve only known each other a few months, but,” she sighs and runs her hand through her long brown hair, “it feels like I’ve known him forever. He’s like my other half and I know how annoying and cliché that sounds.” She wrinkles her nose, making us both laugh again. “But it’s true. I can’t help it.”

“Oh, hey, Roman! Question time!” I call to the bruiser before he walks into the locker room. He grins and trots over.

“Eggnog – yum or yuck?” Hattie asks.

“Oh definitely yum. I could drink a gallon of the stuff—actually did once on a dare. It did not end well, but I still love it.
