Following a quick stop at a nearby diner, Sawyer and I returned to the complex to find a party raging in Maddie’s client’s cabin. The invite had seemingly gone out to all of Whistler. Music blared, people danced, laughter rang out into the night. Thankfully, the festivities were contained to the bottom floor, so I was able to retreat to my room to shower in peace and grab a change of clothes.

Outfitted in a simple lavender sweater dress and gray ankle boots, I made my way downstairs and weaved through the crowd of plastic cup wielding strangers in search of Maddie. I finally found her in the dining room, engaging in a wildly entertaining round of beer pong. She and her partner—a short-haired girl I recognized as being one of Sawyer’s friends—were beating Connor and his partner.

Maddie’s eyes lit up when she saw me. She wrapped her hands around my neck in greeting, enveloping me in the smell of beer and her usual peachy body lotion.

“I hope you don’t mind,” she said, gesturing around the room, “I invited some friends.”

“Some friends?” I laughed. “Maddie, this resembles one of your old high-school ragers.”

She shrugged and joined in my laughter. “Cut me some slack. I never got to experience any college parties. Plus, I cleared it with Mr. Client.”

And I actually really like this guy, so I don’t want to screw anything up.”

“I won’t let you stumble into his bed,” I promised, suddenly experiencing a case of déjà vu. Maddie was my sister at heart, but most of our high school experience had ended with me somehow taking care of her. It was why we worked well as a team—she pushed me to try new things and take chances, while I ensured she didn’t cross any lines she’d later regret.

Speaking of not breaking rules…

My eyes followed Sawyer as he made his way over to us, stopping every so often to greet people he knew. He had gone back to his cabin to shower and change, and now wore a simple black v-neck t-shirt and dark jeans. Wet strands of hair peeked out beneath a black beanie, giving him a mischievous, boyish appearance.

Memories of a time long-ago fluttered around my mind, tugging at my heart, reminding me that so much had changed over the past few years. Six years was a long time to be away from somebody, and Sawyer had grown in ways that made me realize I no longer knew all of him. He was still
