Lily didn’t look thrilled that they were going to be sitting together. But she’d always been like that—acting indifferent toward him. Frankly, if it wasn’t for finding a short story she’d written about him back in the last week of high school, he would never have known she harboured a crush on him.

The note had changed everything.

But barging in with questions wasn’t the way to approach a woman like Lily. One wrong word and she’d snap shut like a clamshell. He needed a delicate touch. A reason for her to trust him.

Truth be told, he hadn’t heard about the breakup until now. Did it make him a terrible person for feeling more than a little happy that she was no longer with Mr. Butt Chin? Probably.

More than probably.

“Exactly how much of that did you hear?” she asked warily as he slid into the seat beside her.

“Enough to know you broke up with your boyfriend for a myriad of large and small reasons.” He tried to stifle a smirk, but his lip twitched in rebellion.

“Amazing.” She nodded, her lips pressed into a flat line. “This day is going swimmingly.”

“Any guy who breaks up with you needs to get his head checked.” Sean stashed his bag under the seat in front of him. “You’re a catch.”

She snorted. “Yeah, right.”

“I’m serious.” He turned to her. “You’re gorgeous, talented, creative. What more could a guy want?”

“His career,” she replied dryly. “Apparently, I was a publicity stunt first and a human second.”

Sean’s mouth popped open. “You’re kidding.”

“Nope.” She sighed. “Look it up on YouTube. Last I checked, the moment my faith in humanity officially died has almost three million views. But that’s what I get for dating a man who believes his needs supersede everything and everyone around him.”

“The name Brock should have been a dead giveaway.” Sean screwed up his nose. He didn’t really have anything against the name, but he couldn’t think of how else to make her feel better. “I mean, it’s not Chad but… it’s close.”

A smile tugged at the corner of Lily’s lip, but she stared straight ahead.

“And I was told once that you should never trust a guy with a butt chin,” he added. “It’s basically law.”

“You’re just trying to cheer me up,” she said, glancing at him.

“I am.”

“Why?” There was a palpable wariness to her.

“We’re old mates, aren’t we?” Okay, so maybe that was a stretch.

“You used to pull my pigtails and call me a nerd,” she pointed out. “That hardly makes us friends.”

“I was jealous,” he admitted.

“Of the pigtails or my being a nerd?”

“Both.”

“I can see why.” She nodded. “For what it’s worth, you’d look good with pigtails.”

“I know,” he replied with mock solemnity.

There was a lightness in her expression for a moment, but then it leeched out of her again as if she felt exposed and needed to duck back behind her walls. He couldn’t stand seeing her like that. She’d left Australia for bigger and brighter things without so much as a backward glance, and there hadn’t been a single doubt in his mind that she would find success wherever she went.
