Well, how to fuck up spectacularly. It had been six years since that night—the previous time I’d fucked up spectacularly. When Audrina had invited me to the coffee shop and I realized I was actually going to see Case in the flesh for the first time in years, I’d jumped at the chance. Play Santa? I’d have emigrated to the North Pole if need be. To be honest, my own pole was featuring a lot in this current decision making.

You see just before I’d last seen her all those years ago at Maddy’s wedding, I’d realized that my sister’s best friend was starting to look, well, hot. Actually, she was looking well hot. I’d done my best to ignore her while at the same time joining the gym and making sure she got glimpses of my newly toned bod. I’d not wanted to cause problems if I made a fool of myself asking her out and she turned me down. Audrina would probably have beaten me up for even encroaching on her best friend anyway. Plus, I doubted Casey even saw me as anything other than her best friend’s annoying older brother.

But that night when I’d seen her on the bench. She’d looked so adorable, talking to herself, completely intoxicatingly intoxicated. And I realized I would have to tell her how I felt, whatever the consequences. Just not then, not while she was not able to make an informed choice about the possibility of an ‘us’.

When she’d gone to kiss me, I’d been in shock. Did she feel the same way about me?

I didn’t get a chance to find out after she was sick and then ran away.

I’d not known it would be the last I would see of her outside of stalking her social media. So, I’d ask my sister about her, just casually, to see what was going on in her life. When she opened the café, I’d passed by so many times, tempted to just walk in. I’d practiced exactly what I would say, but when the time came, I just couldn’t do it and I’d walk on by.

But was it my imagination or did she stare at me a little too long when she was taking my photo? Did she get annoyed when Audrina mentioned I might get a date?

Tomorrow, I would do my best to make her jealous. See if there was potentially anything between us.

I wasn’t religious but that night I actually prayed.
