“You’re really moving in with him?” Denise asked me from across the table in the sushi restaurant, holding her chopsticks between her fingers. “You? Carson?”

“Yep. The rumors are true.”

She grabbed a sushi roll and placed it in her mouth. After a couple bites, she shook her head again. “I’m really happy for you. Just surprised.”

“Trust me, I was really surprised too. Not surprised that he asked, surprised that I wanted the same things.”

“For what it’s worth, he’s so much better than Evan ever was. You can tell he’s genuinely a good guy. Not to mention, he’s super hot.”

“Yeah. Another reason why I said yes.” I chuckled before I took a bite of my roll. “Do you know who else is super hot? Charlie.”

Her eyebrows rose up on her face. “What did you just say?” She turned jealous immediately, just the way I did about Dax.

Her reaction told me everything I needed to know. “Girl, he’s all yours. Not my type. But maybe you should go for him…”

Her wrath slowly subsided. “Do I make it that obvious?”

“You both do. I think it’s time for something to happen.”

“I don’t know… I really don’t want to hurt Kat.” She bowed her head and pushed her rolls around with her chopsticks.

“I think it’s time for all of us to move on. And you and Charlie would be great together, so I think you guys should give it a go.”

“Really?” she asked in surprise.

“Yeah. Charlie talked to her recently and told her that he wanted to ask you out.”

“Shut up! He did not.”

“Yep. She wasn’t thrilled about it, but he said it seemed like she understood.”

“Oh my god. She must hate me.”

“No. She and I aren’t on good terms…but you guys are fine.”

“Wait, what happened with you?” my sister asked.

I’d never told her about it because I had no explanation. I couldn’t just tell her that I knew Charlie had been hung up on her this long. It would make him look like a weirdo. “I told her that she needed to move on with her life and not stand in the way of you and Charlie wanting to get together. She didn’t like that, so we haven’t really been talking. I think she just needs some time.”

“Whoa… I don’t know what to say.”

“It was for her own good. Because she still has feelings for him, and he doesn’t feel the same way at all. I think it was a kick in the chest but what she needed to hear.”

She set her chopsticks on her plate and stared down at her food like she didn’t know what to do.

“Damage is done, Denise. You guys should just do what you want to do. You two would be perfect together, and everyone deserves to be happy.”

“Maybe I should talk to her about it—”

“No, just leave her alone. I know you guys are friends, but you’re only friends with her because of me, so I don’t think it really counts. I don’t think it’s the same thing as if I were to date Charlie…that would be weird.
