My thoughts wrap around Ash and all the frightening things he makes me feel. Being around him, I feel alive. Invigorated. My heart has put in extra time with the flutters, the squeezes, and the heartbeats that take off like a runaway train. My mind is on overtime and stupid me can picture more with him. Which is why I need to rein it in.

He’s new—something fun and shiny—but that newness will wear off. For both of us. And once it does, once he takes off the fresh-colored rose glasses, he’ll leave. I’m not his type. He lives life outside of the lines and I’m content staying within the safety of them. He likes the edge and I stay as far away as possible. When he realizes I’m the settling down type, he’ll hightail it out. It—I—won’t be good enough for him to stick around.

My mother started the domino effect. Everyone I’ve loved or tried to, except Dad, has followed the fall and leaves, hurt and deceit left in their wake.

I’m working on a mockup when my phone vibrates on my desk.

Ash: I’ve got your picture. Can I bring it by after work?

Is it strange I can hear his voice through text like he’s standing in front of me? Even with my worries, I can’t help but grin.

Me: Yes. I’ll be home around six.

Ash: See you then.

Lucia leans over closer to me. “If your smile gets any goofier, you’ll have people thinking you’re playing with yourself under the table.”

I half snort a laugh and roll my eyes. “No one would think that. I’m looking at my phone on my desk.”

She shrugs, lifting a brow. “Maybe. Maybe not. But it’s not too often you look like you’re in love.”

Love?

Love!

That wipes the smile right off my face. “I don’t even know him well enough to love him.”

“But you want to,” she sing-songs. With that, she straightens and goes back to work on her part of the project.

She’s delusional. Her coffee must’ve had an extra espresso shot because she’s way off base. Do I like him? Yes. Do I want to love him? No. I’m not stupid enough to think he’d want to be with only me and wouldn’t break my heart, leaving it in pieces. Then why does thinking of him with someone else hurt?
