Tonight’s dinner was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. A really long time.

Despite Ty’s aristocratic air, I enjoy spending time with him. He’s smart, funny, and surprisingly real. When all you know of a person is their reputation, and his is larger than life, you create an image in your head. You fabricate a personality, and although my fabrication wasn't that far off, I missed the humanity part. The realism of Ty. Adding that piece showcases him in a whole new light.

I wish I didn't like him as much as I do. I wish I didn't like him at all.

It would make my life so much less complicated.

Uncomplicated. Life used to be that way. It used to be easy.

I used to actually feel alive.

I’d forgotten what excitement was like. What happiness does when it touches your insides. I felt it tonight. Chatting with Shane and Chase, enjoying Jenn’s delicious food, and smiling comfortably in return when Ty smiled. His expressions are infectious. He’s usually so serious, but when a little bit of enjoyment peeks through, it's like the sun popping out behind a dark cloud. It makes everything warm.

I’ve been cold for over two years, and I’ve completely forgotten how to walk in the sunlight. I'm not even sure if I still can. If I can allow myself to open up and be half the person I once was.

Ty wouldn’t stand a chance against the old me. I would’ve had him eating out of the palm of my hand. I would’ve played with him like a toy, tossed him in the corner when I got bored, and overly enjoyed it when he begged for my attention once more.

I was mean. Well, maybe not mean, just noncommittal. Until Seth.

Be he's gone, and so is the old me. Ty has nothing to worry about. It's me who has to worry.

He has no idea who I really am. What lies beneath this pretty exterior. It's just a front. A tease. And I can't bear the thought of what will happen if he ever finds out the truth. If he ever sees the real me.

Ty holds my hand as we step off the elevator. He’s always touching me. Somehow, some way. During dinner, in the car, on the beach, no matter where, our bodies are somehow connected.

“Dinner was delicious,” I state nervously as we come closer and closer to my hotel room door.

“Jenn is a talented chef. I’ve been trying to bribe Shane and Chase for her conch fritter recipe for months.”

“They’re loyal to Jen. They won't give it up.” It’s even evident to me. Someone who only just met them.

“Maybe Jenn will share it with me now. Our little conversation in the kitchen is giving me hope.” Ty lets go of my hand and slides his arm around my waist. My blood pressure skyrockets as he pulls me close then traps me against the door. Our chests touching, our breaths mingling, our hips bumping. His expensive cologne is utterly intoxicating.
