I’m too drunk to go back to work after brunch. The world is too bright and too wobbly around me. I shoot Summer a text asking for her to cover for me. Ginny looks worried as we walk home, asks if I need her help to make my way up the stairs. I assure her I’m fine. I’ve been way drunker than this before. She didn’t know me in those days, when I was nursing my wounds from lost love, self-medicating, grieving, barely keeping my head above water.

I stagger upstairs, promising myself that I’ll give Cal a call as soon as I sober up. I’ll be strong then. I won’t run away. Instead, I’ll demand the answers that I deserve, talk things through without screaming at him or going weak in the knees. I don’t know if we can figure everything out. Who knows what he’s hiding? If he can’t trust me, how can I open up to him?

I don’t know if this whole thing can work out.

But damn, if I don’t hope it will.

I grab a water bottle from my fridge, pausing to take a long swig. Then I turn toward my living room. It’s a beautiful day. Maybe I’ll throw open a window, let the fresh air wash over me.

But I don’t get the chance. Because I turn around, and walk right into Cal as he comes out of the bathroom.

“Holy shit!” I cry, and nearly lose my footing. But his arms are strong and swift. They bolster me before I can stumble.

“Summer let me in,” he says quickly. But that hadn’t even crossed my mind, because I was too busy gazing right into his laser green eyes. He smells like nutmeg and brown sugar, and he’s smiling at me.

I’m smiling right back.
