“I see.” My sister is quiet for a moment before she asks, “But…do you think he might feel the same?”

I consider it for barely half a second before the memory of me and Owen in his apartment comes rushing into my mind like a backdraft. His mouth on mine, making his desire for me undeniable. The way his hand trailed over mine holding the golf club a little too gently, for a little too long, his full body hug a little too unnecessarily to be pure accident.

“No,” I mutter, to myself as much as Louise. “Or maybe he does. I don’t know.”

“Well you should at least find out, Margo. Before you go making up his mind for him.”

“No. I’ve made up my mind. I need to move on. At the end of the day, it’s not worth risking the friendship. He’s not right for me. And who knows, maybe I’ll even find some nice guy on this stupid video thing.”

“Abso-fucking-lutely!” Louise says, sitting up to fill both our glasses once again, probably hoping her enthusiasm will erase the somber tone of what I just said. “So this show: you get to meet lots of hot guys, right?”

I shrug. “We only just filmed the first episode, and yes the guy was hot, but he had the personality of an exit sign.”

“That was only one guy. Are you going to do it again?”

I let out a sigh. “I have to—it’s a series.”

Louise grins roguishly. “Who’s the next guy?”

“I don’t know,” I say, leaning back against the cushions and looking up at the ceiling, the champagne going to my head a little now. “Owen and I agreed to find dates for each other this time.”

“No way!” Louise says, sitting bolt upright on the edge of the couch now like an excited puppy.

“Yes way,” I say, somehow peeling myself forward and grabbing my phone from the table. I swipe a few times and hand it to Louise. “We’re supposed to use this app.”

Louise looks down at the phone, her mouth open and smiling, knees bouncing with giddy pleasure. “This is incredible! You get to pick Owen’s date? Why didn’t you tell me this the second I came through the door?”

“I forgot, to be honest.”

My sister rolls her eyes. “Yeah, right. Like you haven’t spent day and night searching this site for the worst girl on it.”

“Why would I do that?” I exclaim, shocked.

“Why wouldn’t you?” Louise says, glancing at me for a second, barely able to peel her eyes away from the screen she’s swiping rhythmically now. “You could find some horrible, spoiled, annoying girl—like this one! Look,” she says, holding the screen up, “her profile has more ridiculous demands than a hostage-taker. Six-figure salary…owns his own home…take her on vacation multiple times a year…you think Owen could handle her?”

I groan loudly and set my glass down. “I’m not setting Owen up with a bad date, Louise. Whatever…mess I’m in mentally, he’s still my friend, and I still want to see him happy,” I say, moving closer to Louise on the loveseat.
