“What the hell was that?” Caitlin asked me as soon as Sean had closed the door.

I collapsed on the couch and put my hands over my face. I felt more than saw Caitlin drop down next to me. She didn’t speak and I didn’t open my eyes to look at her, but I could easily imagine the look she had on her face.

“Can we just pretend that didn’t happen?” I asked after a few minutes.

“Right after pigs fly. Are you kidding me? Do you honestly think that I, or even Sean, is going to pretend like that didn’t happen? What was that?” she asked.

“What did it look like. We kissed,” I said.

I sat up and put my elbows on my knees and put my face in my hands.

“How did that happen?” she asked.

“Well, when two people stand really close to each other and they want to kiss each other, they do,” I said.

“You wanted to kiss him. Interesting.”

“Of course, I wanted to kiss him. He wouldn’t have forced himself on me.”

“How did said kissing happen? Or what happened beforehand to make you want to kiss him? Last time we talked, you weren’t even sure if you wanted to be in the same room with him, but when I walked in there was hardly any room between you two. What changed?”

“Nothing and everything,” I said.

“Thanks for clearing that up,” she said.

“He said he didn’t mean to break up with me when he did.”

“What does that even mean?” she asked and turned to look at me better.

“He didn’t do it because he didn’t want to be with me, or that he didn’t care about me. He did it because he didn’t want me to worry about him or wait for him while he was a SEAL.”

“Breaking up with him didn’t make you stop worrying about him, he had to know that. You still cared about him, even if he gave you the impression that he didn’t. That is interesting. I always thought there was more to what he was saying. Do you believe him?” she asked.

“I want to. I just don’t know if I should,” I said.

“Sean is many things, but he isn’t a liar and he has never lied to you,” she said.

“Yeah. He told me he did it for my own good. That he didn’t know if he was going to make it out and he didn’t want to do that to me. That he thought he had explained that to me.”

“It makes sense and is kind of sweet. He put your happiness above his own. That sounds more like the Sean that we know.”

“How can you say that? He made the decision without talking to me about it.”

“I take it you two were talking about that before I came in?” Caitlin asked.

“He started saying things about how he had always cared about me, that he still cares about me.”

“That’s pretty evident,” she said.

“And then he was standing in front of me and saying all these things that I just started kissing him.
