Carter pulled up in front of the house and put the car in park. He’d done this so many times over the last several weeks, but I couldn’t ignore the idea of this being the last time. Somewhere deep inside, I knew this wouldn’t happen again. Even though I still had eleven more days before I boarded a plane to take me back home, I’d never again sit in Carter’s car in front of the house like a teenager coming home from a date.

“Did you at least have fun today?” His gravelly voice etched itself into me.

“Yeah, once we got past everything. It was nice.”

“Listen, Kara,” he said on an exhale, reaching for my thumb. It was the closest he’d come to holding my hand in almost a week. It wasn’t the same, but I wasn’t about to argue. “I don’t know how this will work out or what’ll happen. I have no idea what kinda friendship we can have being states away, but if you ever need me, you know my number. Just because you’re leaving doesn’t mean we can’t talk every now and then. Okay?”

I laughed to myself, only offering him breathless giggles. “It’d be nice if you could make up your mind, Carter. The last time you dropped me off, you sat just like that and told me it was a bad idea for us to continue anything. Now, you’re telling me you still want to talk.”

“I didn’t mean completely cut off all lines of communication. I think this thing will be easier once you go back home. We won’t have the option to spend time together. Only relying on a phone while we’re both working probably means we won’t talk to each other that often. But I never meant for you to think we can’t talk at all.”

“So…friends?” I tilted my head and raised my eyebrows, proving to him there were no hard feelings. However, the action did nothing to prove it to myself.

“Friends,” he agreed with a smirk.

Instead of a kiss or some romantic gesture, he squeezed my hand before I climbed out of the car. He didn’t walk me to the door, but at least he stood next to the bumper and waited until I made it inside the house. It was a…friendly act.

I found Danni and Logan curled up on the couch with the TV on. Logan seemed on the verge of falling asleep and didn’t pay me any mind at all as I fell into the recliner next to them. I couldn’t help but laugh when I noticed the coffee table pushed against the wall.

“How’d it go? Are you okay?”

I smiled at Danni and kicked the footrest out to recline in the seat. “Eh…I’ll be okay. It’s my fault anyway. I should’ve realized I was getting attached and stopped it before it got so out of hand. It just took me by surprise, you know?”

“No…I don’t know.”

“I’ve had many different kinds of relationships with guys in the past. Some I’ve dated, some
