Chapter 16

Reaching over and taking Sadie’s hand had been a big risk, but she didn’t seem to object. He didn’t think she’d be one to totally rebuff him, but she’d been firm earlier about her convictions to not marry.

After dropping off the riders and helping them transport their pumpkins to their various vehicles, Evan hopped back onto the wagon and looked over at Sadie.

“Do you want to go with me to take the wagon back? Or did you need to get back to the house?” He watched as she bit her lip, and the urge to lean over and kiss her was stronger than ever.

“How about I run and get us jackets before we do that? My arms feel like popsicles.” She grinned and slid down, running out of sight. It wasn’t long before she returned, holding out a zip-up jacket for him.

“I found this in your Tahoe. Looks like you are prepared as well.” She giggled as she pulled on her Hawthorne football hoodie.

“I can’t believe you still have that. Didn’t I give that to you when we were in college?”

Sadie nodded. “I forgot a jacket, and we were heading to that outdoor concert freshman year. You offered me this one.”

“And you never gave it back,” he said, teasing in his voice.

“You were kind of a jerk after that. Well, let me rephrase that. You were a jerk before, but after that, you were a total jerk. I tried to avoid you as often as possible from that point, especially after that party, and I kept telling Aubrey to take it back to you, but she conveniently forgot every time.”

Evan turned to her, regret filling him. “I didn’t realize I’d hurt you that bad. I’m really sorry.”

Sadie studied his face for several seconds before she placed the blanket over her legs and then his, almost as a sign that she’d forgiven him for that terrible night in college.

That memory was one of those he’d worked to block out after ten years. It had been several weeks after he’d lent her his sweatshirt when the football team had won a big rivalry game. They’d come back to campus to several large parties throughout the dorms. He remembered seeing Aubrey and Sadie at a party, but it had been a while since he’d focused on the words he’d uttered when he saw her wearing the sweatshirt again.

“Look, it’s my sister and her jersey-chasing friend.” Even though he’d been drunk at the time, he’d never forget the look on Sadie’s face, as though she’d been slapped. She’d nodded and left the party with Aubrey running after her.

Even later, Evan had never found the right time to apologize to her. Later that night was when his frat brother Eddie had died in a head-on collision, and then days later, several of the guys got into trouble for destroying their hotel rooms a few hours away from campus on a “bonding trip.”

“Thank you for apologizing,” Sadie said, pulling him out of his thoughts.

“I shouldn’t have been like that to you or anyone.
