CHAPTER ELEVEN

“You have thirty minutes,” I said, sitting down and looking at my watch. “And then this is over, and you tell your mom that we had a great chat but we don’t want to make this work again. And I’ll tell my mom the same.”

“Are you serious, Skylar?”

I nodded, looking at the menu in front of me, trying to find the quickest item to order.

“Do you want to split French fries?”

“We didn’t choose one of the nicest restaurants in this city for thirty-minute French fries,” Michael said, flashing his perfect smile.

“There is no ‘we,’” I sighed. “You chose this place, not me. Forty-five minutes, but I’m still getting fries.”

He nodded to an already-filled wine glass. “I ordered your favorite. Unless you’re a completely different person than you were a year ago.”

I rolled my eyes, annoyed he’d beaten me here. In his world, showing up 10 minutes early was considered on time. I was five minutes early, already feeling late.

I huffed and took a sip, thinking the wine might make this experience easier. He looked good, his hair perfectly styled, wearing a sports coat paired with a white button-down and crisp khakis. He hadn’t changed at all since we’d been together.

“I recently ran into Kyle, and he said you’ve been a huge help with his wedding,” he said after ordering us the same appetizer we’d always shared when we used to come here. “I guess you really have changed.”

“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked, looking around the restaurant. It felt weird being back here, sitting at the same table we’d always sat at, him so comfortable, as if no time had passed.

“Well, when we were together, you seemed pretty against the whole wedding concept.”

I looked away. “I’m just helping Krista.”

“So you’re thinking you might have come around to the idea of being married?”

I sat up straighter, adjusting the hem of my skirt, covering the scar on my knee. “Michael, I am not having this conversation with you. Everything that has been said was said a year ago.”

He held up his hands in defense and laughed. “Do you remember when we first met? I’d forgotten my textbook in AP Calc, and I asked to borrow yours for that open book test?”

I nodded.

He smiled. “And you said no. You weren’t even using yours, but you said I should have been more prepared. You said you weren’t going to do anything to help me get a better grade than you.”

I kind of laughed as the server brought us appetizers. “Yeah, that was kind of harsh.”

“I don’t think you’ve changed at all from that moment. You have to remember, you know me, and I know you, Skylar. I’m not like the other guys you’ve been with,” he said, placing his hand over mine.

His touch was so familiar, his voice the same, that I almost felt like I’d been transported to us two years ago.

“What do you mean, the other guy,” I said, shaking my head and pulling my hand away, “I mean, guys I’ve been with?”

“Kyle said you’ve been dating around.
