ALEX

Senior year of college

“I’m so sorry!” Alex yelled as she slammed the apartment door shut and ran down the hall to find her roommate in the kitchen. Her eyebrow was raised and humor shone bright in her blue eyes.

“You are so lucky I love you,” Savannah said as she set her water bottle on the counter.

Alex sighed as she rushed over to the dining table and dropped all her books and bag on it. “I know. I lost track of time at the lab with my research. I’m so, so sorry, Sav. I promise as soon as I get back from Stanford, I will spend the entire day shopping for graduation dresses with you.”

“We were supposed to go today before your flight.”

“I know. And I know you’ve been looking forward to it. If I didn’t finish this research that is due on Monday, I wouldn’t be able to spend the whole weekend in California with Evan guilt-free.”

Savannah’s lip twitched as she crossed her arms over her chest. “And did you submit your paper?”

“I did.”

“Then good.”

“Are you mad?”

Her roommate laughed. “No. I’m not mad, Alex. It’s your boyfriend’s last play-off series game as a senior and captain of the Stanford baseball team. Are your parents going?”

Alex shook her head as she unzipped her bag and pulled out her purse. “No. Work and everything. But if Stanford wins the play-offs, they’ll be at the championship game for sure. Oh God, is that the time?” Alex asked, noticing the clock on the wall. Her flight was boarding in less than three hours, and she hadn’t even packed. With so many of her final papers due in the past few weeks, she’d been all over the place trying to finish them and juggle the internship applications in Massachusetts for after graduation.

“You go pack, and I’ll drive you to the airport,” Savannah ordered.

“Right. I swear, I’ll be five minutes.”

Savannah let out an unbelievable laugh. “Seriously, Alex? Five minutes to pack for a weekend with your boyfriend?”

Alex set her purse on the table and smiled. “I have a lot of my stuff already at his apartment. I just need to pack the new dress and shoes he wanted for dinner, then I’ll be ready to go to the airport. I’ll be right back.” She spun around and bolted to her bedroom. Once she was inside, she went to her closet and pulled her small suitcase from the top shelf and set it on the floor.

She was thankful that during their junior year of college, Evan had her leave some of her clothes at his apartment he shared with Milos. It made last-minute flights to California to see him much easier. It went the same way for her boyfriend. In her closet, he’d left several of his shirts, sweaters, a few shorts, pants, pairs of socks, and underwear in a drawer. Alex stood, removed the brand-new black dress she bought from the hanger and laid it flat in her suitcase. Then she grabbed a few extra
