“So what are you going to do?” asked Grace later that night, standing in Macie’s kitchen, sipping a glass of white wine.

“I don’t know. He’s pissed, and it doesn’t look like he’s willing to forgive me even if I didn’t do it.” Wearing her favorite satin blue lounging PJs, Macie topped off Grace’s glass and poured herself a drink too.

“Meanwhile, he has no idea you did something he actually should get pissed over.”

“Exactly.” Macie took a sip.

“Why not ask forgiveness for the thing you didn’t do and call it a wash?” Grace suggested.

“Because eventually, his sister and Luci will make it clear I wasn’t involved, and then he’ll be mad because I accepted responsibility for something I didn’t do, which he’ll see as another lie.” All so confusing!

“I see your point.” Grace nodded. “Well, what do you want to do?”

“I want to come clean. And I want to believe that if he really liked me, it will all work out. But that’s what I want, not what I think will happen.”

“Macie, you’ve been going around and around about this. And every time you decide not to do it, something happens to make you doubt that choice.”

“You’re right. I know.”

“Then stop wasting your time when we all know you will never feel right if you don’t tell him.”

This struggle was only a sign of how much was on the line.

Macie sighed. “I actually emailed and told him that the picture wasn’t me.”

“And?”

“No reply.” Macie ran her hands over her hair, tugging with frustration on her ponytail.

“Then try again. Maybe you can get him to listen to Catrina. Or better yet, ask to meet and be done with it.”

Macie knew she’d dragged this out, and now it had become like an abscessed tooth she’d waited too long to pull. It was going to be messy and painful no matter what she did.

“Macie, there’s no other choice. Every time you delay, you’re just falling more deeply in love with him. Better to know now if it’s not going to work out.”

Gracie was right. If there was any hope of ever having a future with Jack, Macie had to do it now. Still, the chances he’d ever want her after finding out the truth were miniscule. What choice do I have?

That night, she unblocked Jack’s number on her personal cell to draft a text as Catrina: I know you’re angry. I know you don’t trust me. All I’m asking for is a chance to explain.

Before I told you that photo wasn’t me, you thought there might be something special between us.

I think you might be right. But we’ll never find out if we don’t meet face-to-face and lay all of our cards on the table.

I’m willing to take the risk.

Are you?

Macie hit send and waited.

Please, Jack, she prayed to the darkness in her bedroom. Just open your heart for two minutes.

But while opening it might allow him to hear her, it did not mean he’d forgive her.

Suddenly, his reply popped onto her phone: When and where?

“Oh crap.
