"You don't have to go," Blaise mutters to me as I linger by the door.

Jordan is in his car at the end of the footpath, waiting. It's been a day of sorts — from crying to feeling empty, and crying some more.

"I know," I tell him with a sad smile. "It will be okay. I promise I'll contact you if I need you."

He gives a sharp nod before looking over my head. His eyes narrow at Jordan and I fight the urge to laugh, knowing the man that just broke my heart is on the receiving end of that look.

"Be safe, Sky," he says, kissing my forehead. "Call me. I mean it."

I nod, turning and heading down the pathway. Jordan steps out of the vehicle, and I have to give it to him, knowing that Blaise is standing at the door watching him, he has the guts to face his actions at least.

Jordan gives a courtesy wave to Blaise, who doesn't return the gesture, before opening my door for me. I climb into the car, giving Blaise a final wave as Jordan hops into the driver's seat.

"Thank you for coming with me," he says, reaching for my hand.

I let him squeeze it for a tiny second before I pull it away, resting my hand on my knee. "Let's just get this over with."

"Okay," he replies softly. "And I don't want you to worry about anything this weekend. Any costs are on me."

"Good," I shoot back. "It's the least you can do."

He nods, pulling away from my house and out of sight of Blaise. "I really am sorry, Firefly."

"Stop calling me that," I grimace. "I'm not your Firefly. I'm not your anything."

Jordan sighs unhappily. "I just want to pretend that you are still mine for this weekend. I want to go into a little bubble where it's just us together."

"You realize that this weekend, one of our kisses will be our last."

He sucks in a small breath at the realization, his fingers stretching out like he wants to touch me. "I… I don't want to think about that."

"It's true," I point out. "Everything this weekend will be the last. The last kiss, the last touch. Our last goodbye."

"We could still be friends," he offers weakly. "We don't have to disappear from each other's lives completely."

I look over at him in disbelief. "That never works. Besides, if you want to give this thing with the other girl a real shot, you can't have me in the picture."

He doesn't respond, staring at the road ahead with a stoic expression.

We drive in silence for a few minutes before I speak again, curiosity eating at me.

"What's her name?" I ask.

I expect him to play dumb for a moment, but he doesn't. "Jasmine," he says softly.

"Right," I nod. "So, where did you meet Jasmine?"

Jordan grips the steering wheel tighter. "Do we have to talk about this?"

I scoff. "Why not? I deserve to know, don't I?"

"Tinder," he bites out. "I met her on Tinder. Happy?"

Shaking my head, I'm taken aback by his attitude.
