Surprisingly, the hour flies by and Ms. Robin is already wrapping things up. “Okay, I’d like to thank all of you for participating in our discussions today. Your homework is to jot down times when you feel impulsive over the next week. Write down why you’re feeling it, and then attempt to use some of the distress tolerance skills we learned here today. Remember the distracting method, self-soothing, improving the moment, and thinking of pros and cons about the choice you’re facing. Write down whether you were successful or not using these methods. We’ll discuss the possible whys in one of our groups next week.” I pull out my cell phone, open up my notepad app, and type in the homework assignment. If I’m going to have to write down every time I feel impulsive, I’m going to need a big notebook.

“See, not so bad, huh?” Mercedes asks.

I nod, “No, not so bad, I guess.”

“Okay, so I’ll see you next group, then?”

“Yep, I’ll be here with bells on,” I quip sarcastically. She laughs and shoves a torn piece of paper at me.

“Here’s my number. Call anytime. We all need support systems; sometimes a friend is all you need to get through a rough patch.” She smiles.

A friend.

The only friend I’ve ever had was Jace and that turned into a total disaster. I like Mercedes, but having a friend isn’t familiar ground for me.

“Sure,” I nod. “And thanks, Mercedes. Thanks for being so cool.” She smiles and meanders out of the room with a bounce in her step. I reach down and grab my purse. In my peripheral vision, I see someone walk through the door and look up instinctively.

Jace.

Of course it’s Jace. In black slacks and a baby blue button down that accents his ice-blue eyes perfectly. My throat tightens as if someone’s strangling me and my jaws clench. His eyes are fixed on me and I fumble with my empty water bottle and all of the label scraps, inwardly cursing myself for making a mess that I now have to take the time to clean up instead of being able to run out of here. Grabbing a handful of the small scraps and the bottle, I stand up and our eyes meet once again.

God, he is still so gorgeous.

He shoves his hands into his pockets as he approaches me. Then, just before he says anything, Kingsley passes by us with a backward glance in my direction; I blink and chew at my bottom lip, feeling like I’m suddenly trapped in a pressure cooker full of hot guys and angst. The small exchange isn’t lost on Jace. He raises a brow and turns in Kingsley’s direction.

“You know him?” he prods.

Is that jealousy I see on his face?

He has a damn fiancé and he’s asking me questions like this. What a prick! A sexy prick, but a prick, nonetheless. He infuriates me with his self-righteous posture and tone; with that little turned-up side grin and that motherlovin’ toothpick—it’s come back to haunt me.
