Chapter Seven

Molly came by the next morning to go out for coffee and a sugar fix. Of course we both knew the real reason was to discuss that kiss with Dylan. I wasn’t remotely ready for that, but it was either go along or have her get Delaney involved so I decided to surrender to the inevitable.

We decided on Caroline’s and picked out a small table in a corner. It was the first time I’d ventured back there since that night with Dylan, but I was craving the sweet solace of those cinnamon rolls. Molly killed time with small talk until we got settled in, then pounced.

“All right. Tell me about it. And don’t even try to play dumb with me, Allison.”

I slumped down in my seat with a sigh. “I’m in big trouble.”

“Out with it!”

So I told her everything, how I’d felt bad for Dylan and had decided to step into Dannika’s shoes to play matchmaker. I told her about all the time I’d spent with him and my two failed attempts to set him up with the perfect girl. When I finished she echoed my sigh and offered a sad, commiserating smile.

“I think I should give up,” I said. “I’m nowhere near as good at this as Dani.”

“You’re falling for him.”

“But I don’t want to!” I wailed.

She snorted a laugh. “What does that have to do with anything? Laney didn’t want to fall for Walker, and I didn’t want to fall for Quinn. We both knew that it would only end in disaster if we did.”

“Yeah, but…”

“Dylan is a sweetheart. Yeah, we had our moments back when I was still The Ditz and he was so angry over his accident and taking it out on everyone, but he’s apologized profusely and groveled a lot for it. He really is a good guy. Besides,” she added with a grin, “he’s a serious hottie.”

“I know all that. But he’s Dani’s ex. And then there’s Seth…”

“Who you won’t even talk to.”

“I can’t help it.”

Molly sat up and let out a little squeak of surprise. “Speak of the devil.”

I glanced over my shoulder and Seth was at the counter getting coffee. Why me? Why now? I wanted to crawl under the table and hide. Naturally he chose that moment to look up and caught both of us watching him. With a big smile he headed towards our table.

“Great timing. Could this be any worse?” I groaned.

“Yeah. He could have his new girlfriend with him.”

“Okay, you've got me there.”

He sauntered up to us before I could come up with an excuse to run. “Hey, Molly. Allison. You ladies having a good vacation?”

Molly beamed up at him. “Of course. You still coming over after Christmas for our gaming day?”

“Wouldn’t miss it. I made sure to take the day off.”

“Good.”

“Are you two just hanging out today?”

“We came for the cinnamon rolls. And to take the curse off the place for Allie.”

He turned his mossy green eyes on me. “What kind of curse?”

So I had to
