CHAPTER 16

“Johnny!” Mallory exclaimed, jumping up from her chair by the fire. “I thought you were called into work tonight.”

“Yeah, we had a little incident,” he said, unloading a small duffle bag and a case of beer from his car. “There was a fire in the kitchen this afternoon. So between cleaning up that mess and getting some new supplies in so we could keep the restaurant open for the night, it was a little chaotic and the owner was in a panic. But I got it all taken care of, and it actually didn’t do too much damage. It looked worse than it was. So now I get to drink and be irresponsible with you slackers,” Johnny said smiling as he twisted off a beer cap. He slugged down the entire bottle.

We all hugged him hello, refilled our drinks, and sat back down around the campfire.

“I thought you had a plus one tonight, Meg,” Johnny said, leaning back in his chair. “Rumor has it you’re getting serious with someone.”

“Since when has Megan ever been serious enough with someone to bring him around us,” Griffin said with a laugh.

“Hey, first off, that’s his roommate right there,” I interjected, pointing at Greyson. “So perhaps we can paint me in a favorable light tonight,” I said with a giggle.

“Nothing leaves the campfire, man,” Johnny said towards Greyson. “House rules.” Greyson awkwardly nodded in agreement.

“And besides, Ben had to work tonight,” I continued. “So even if I wanted him to come, I mean, I did, but he couldn’t. So it’s not up for discussion.”

“So wait, are you admitting that you’re smitten enough by this guy to actually consider letting him hang out with us?” Addie asked. “I hear about all these guys, Meg. But other than you going rogue and disappearing on us at a nightclub, it’s like these guys don’t even exist.”

“I know,” I replied honestly. “I get it, it’s kind of a chronic issue with me.”

“So what is it, Meg? I mean, we all know your theory about love, and we watch how fast you run away from it. But what would it take for you to actually fall for a guy? Like completely, head over heels, stupid in love?” Mallory asked, sounding genuinely curious.

“Simple,” I responded. “A reason. I just need a guy who can give me one reason why it should be him.” I shrugged my shoulders matter-of-factly, as if I really did have all the answers.

“A reason?” Steve asked, almost spitting out his sip of beer. “You’re telling me all of these guys you go through, weekend after weekend, and you’ve never come up with one good reason to keep one of them around?”

“You misheard me,” I said simply. “I can come up with plenty of reasons why I may like a guy, that’s easy. But every guy I date, any guy I’m actually into, they seem dumbfounded by it when I ask them.”

“Wait, what?” Mallory said, a little confused by what I was saying. “What do you
