Diana still moved in a hazy state of euphoria. Just thinking about Scott reminded her that for the first time in years she’d let go. She didn’t know how that had happened. Six years with Bradley, who on paper was everything she should want and need, and he’d never once made her feel like her skin had been turned inside out. But her teenage crush, the bad boy every girl in town had lusted after, was her rebound guy. Only he couldn’t be the guy. She wasn’t quite ready for him. First she had to get her life in order, and go back home at the end of the summer. To face Mom and the bridal boutique one last time. She had to do the smart thing. If it killed her, dammit. Because no man could solve her problems now. She had to figure out life on her own.

Sunday morning, Diana moved into her baby-studio apartment. She’d brought Gran, who insisted on coming along to help clean and give her opinion on drapes and paint. Not that Diana could afford to redecorate. Or buy much furniture which, fortunately, at least made the place look bigger.

“I don’t know about this,” Gran said, turning up her nose. “It’s too small.”

“I don’t need much.”

“It’s a crime how much they charge for rent. When your grandfather and I bought our house, our mortgage payment was two hundred dollars a month. Everyone thought we were crazy to pay so much!”

“Yeah, times have changed.”

“What about a bed?” Gran asked. “Would you like to bring your bed over?”

Bringing her twin bed over would accomplish two things at once. “Would you mind?”

It was a running start to dismantling the spare bedroom, and getting rid of its homage to the nineties. First her bed, then Mandy’s. Next all the boy band posters and pictures of horses in mid-gallop would come off the walls. Gran would have her sewing and reading room.

“Of course not dear, it’s your bed. I probably shouldn’t have kept it for so long but you know. Memories.” She let a hand drift over the windowsill in the six by six area that passed for a kitchen. “But it sure will come in handy now, won’t it?”

“Yep. Sure will.”

Diana let her mind drift back to the time she’d spent on that bedroom floor with Scott. She was positively sure her eyes had rolled to the back of her head. Certainly her toes had curled. But he’d seemed distant, and she understood everything had changed. Not in any small and unidentifiable way, but in a seismic earth shifting way. She’d told him it would only happen once, but what did it say about her that she couldn’t stop thinking about a possible second time? Or maybe a third time could be the charm.

“You won’t need much furniture,” Gran said. “Since there’s no place to put it.”

“Convenient for me.” There was a nook area for a bed, the kitchenette, a small bathroom and a living area big enough for a loveseat and not a whole lot else.
