On the walk to Cam’s apartment, Flynn calls. “It’s my brother,” I say apologetically. “I’ll just be a sec.”

“No problem,” Cam says, stepping back a bit on the sidewalk.

“Hi, Flynn,” I say into the phone.

“How’s my favorite sister?”

“Good,” I say. “I’m with Cam.”

“Put him on the line. I want to get his word that he’s doing right by you.”

I glance at Cam, whose eyes are fixed on his phone. I watch as the muscles in his forearms flex as he rapidly types a text or an e-mail. I can’t help but wonder who the recipient might be.

“He’s not available to talk just now, but I want to know when you get that promise out of him,” I say. “How’s everything with you? Who’s the latest lady in your life?”

He pauses for a moment. “I’m not dating anyone.”

“My brother, with no love interests? This can’t be true.” I laugh. “Wait, are you still obsessing over the girl in the apartment across the street?”

His silence tells me my hunch is correct.

“You are! Have you met her yet? Tell me you have at least taken this flirtation to real life.”

“I haven’t met her yet,” he says. “And this is going to make zero sense, Jane, but I’m afraid to meet her. What we have is so intense from afar. I’m worried that if we were to meet, neither of us would live up to each other’s expectations.”

“So you’ll just continue to flirt with her from your window until the end of time?”

“No,” he says. “I mean, I don’t know. I’m worried about her. She always seems so sad. I would give anything to take away some of that sadness from her.”

“Then knock on her door.”
