Chapter 15

Ava

I loved Hannah, but I legit thought she was out of her mind. During our double date, she pulled me aside to sit on the swings while Nolan and Seth hung out at the picnic table. (Liam had gone to his car a while ago, probably to escape being a fifth wheel.) While we pumped our legs up and down, Hannah started selling me on the idea of going out with Nolan again.

“Isn’t Nolan sweet?” Hannah’s red hair whipped around her face as she swung back and forth. “I think you guys get along so well. We should totally double date again.”

I tucked my own hair behind my ears to keep it from flying into my mouth, which had just dropped wide open. “Han, he’s hung up on another girl. Didn’t you hear him talking about her the whole time we were eating froyo?”

“But you guys had a connection. He really liked the advice you gave him, which to be honest, was a little too helpful. It’s like you want him to date Mimi instead of you.”

“That’s because I do, and he does, too.” I rolled my eyes. “He’s not interested in me, which is totally fine. You can stop trying so hard to get us together.”

Hannah sighed, then slowed her swinging until her feet touched the ground. I came to a stop, too, and shifted in my swing to face her. Her brows furrowed as she got a really intense look about her. “I’m worried about you, Ava.”

“Worried?” Different emotions flickered across her face, but the one that stood out the most was pity, which didn’t make sense to me. I had no idea what was going on inside her brain, and it was making me worried. “What for?”

She took a deep breath as she played with the hem of her blue sweater. “I know we haven’t been spending as much time together since I started dating Seth, and I feel really bad about that. I didn’t mean to neglect our friendship. I’m so sorry.”

“Hey, it’s okay. I get it. You’re in a new relationship, so it makes sense that you’d want to spend every waking minute with your boyfriend. I’d be worried if you didn’t.”

Hannah smiled gratefully. “Thanks, Aves, for understanding. You’re the best. But—” she let out a heavy breath “—I should’ve realized you’d be lonely. I just didn’t think you’d get desperate.”

“Huh?” I was super confused now, especially when Hannah turned to glance across the street. I followed her gaze and saw it land on Liam’s car that was parked next to the froyo shop. From where we sat, I could make out his profile in the driver’s seat where he was talking on the phone. Hannah looked back at me, her blue eyes darkening with concern. I dug my sneakers into the sand underneath my feet and leaned toward her. “What are you talking about?”

“Seth noticed it first and when he told me, I didn’t believe him. But I’ve been noticing little signs lately, here and there, and I think he might be right.
