The radio blasted “Your Guardian Angel” through the car speakers as I made my way south on the highway. My thumb tapped along with the soothing beat. The hot sun beat down through the cloudless afternoon skies warming my skin. I was heading over to my sister’s house for a typical Sunday dinner. I usually avoided them, not because I didn’t get invited, but because it was something Josh’s family did. And that usually meant there would be some chance of me running into her.

Sam swore that Courtney wouldn’t be there, so I wouldn’t have to deal with that added pressure. She also wanted me to bring Cole so she could meet the woman who had somewhat taken over my mind the last few weeks.

I nixed that idea quickly. I had only spent the other night with Cole, and yes, we planned on spending more time together, but there was no way in hell she was going to be subjected to dinner with my family yet. No friggin’ way.

As I hummed through the lyrics, my mind was consumed by thoughts of nothing but Cole. Her smile. Her laugh. That energy of hers was like the Earth’s gravitational pull. It was always there, enveloping me, no matter how much I wanted to fight it.

Somehow, she’d managed to pull my mind into this whirlwind of chaos, but amidst all the confusion, one thing was for certain—Cole had settled my mind at night. Since we had really started getting to know each other, my flashbacks had become almost tolerable. I hadn’t woken in a state of sweat-induced rage and panic for nearly a week.

In fact, I woke to the exact opposite since our blueberry muffin cooking lesson. God, what a mess that was. I was civil for much of dinner with her, mostly talking about my past while she talked mostly about the here-and-now and nothing about anything within the last few years. It was probably for the best since we avoided bringing up the guy who hurt her as well as my history with Courtney and my deployment. We were both single and making the most of our time alone together.

The minute the muffin cooking session started with the flour, the kneading of dough, and the folding of the blueberries, it all became too much for me to handle. There was no more talk about pasts, presents, or futures. It was just the two of us in the moment, and it was a shitshow.

There were blueberries everywhere, and flour handprints were stamped on my ass cheeks of my shorts. I was pretty sure I pulled a smashed blueberry out of my ear as we sat in her living room watching Pitch Perfect. We were like two teenagers on a first date instead of adults wondering if making a move would be inappropriate or not.

Every morning she sent me a text message that brought a smile to my face. It was so sugary sweet, I swore, I would have a cavity before the end of the summer.
