CHAPTER 10: LETTING GO AGAIN

They didn't speak of it again after that night, but they spent as much time as they could together. Without them having to say it, they both knew that Simon's time at home was coming to a close, and soon he was going to have to go back to his life.

With him having to help his dad finish packing up the house and Jamie having to go back to work, they didn't have all that much time to spend together, but they managed to squeeze in nights and mornings, laying in bed together and whispering about the things they wanted, the things they were going to do better.

Simon swore up and down that this time would be different. He'd made his peace with his father, he said, and now that he and Jamie were back on good terms, he didn't want to lose her again.

It reminded Jamie so much of that night on her car, sitting there under the stars and listening to Simon's promises. She'd had the same feeling in her stomach that night as she did when Simon talked about how they were going to visit each other and how he wanted his friends from the hospital and college to meet her. How he wanted to keep her as a part of his life.

It sounded good, of course, but it had sounded just as good seven years before when she had been younger and less sad about the whole thing.

Simon's intentions were good, she knew that. She knew that he was actually going to try this time, but she also knew that if it didn't work, the two of them weren't going to be able to put themselves back together. Not twice. She'd given in this time because she'd always held onto some hope that he would come back and let her into his life again, but she wouldn't be able to deal with it if it happened again.

Jamie didn't talk about that, though. Instead she smiled at him when he came into The Pit for dinner after spending the day with his father. She brought him coffee and let him kiss her on the cheek before she went off to take other people's orders.

The town continued to chatter about the two of them, but she didn't care about that. For the moment, she was just going to enjoy it.

"How long is he going to be here?" Adam asked a couple of days after Jamie had come back to work.

He was glaring through the kitchen window at Simon who was sitting at his usual table with his laptop, typing feverishly.

"Just until the new year," Jamie replied. "Why? Do you have some kind of problem with him? I didn't even think you knew him." She couldn't remember when Adam had moved to their town, but she was pretty sure that it had been after Simon had left.

"I don't," he said. "But he's just so... pompous."

Jamie frowned. "Simon is? Are we talking about the same guy?"

"Yeah, we are," Adam insisted.
