I had the cabbie take me right to Chloe’s place. I definitely didn’t want to be alone right now, and those damned lilacs were still at my apartment. I texted her before I got there, to make sure she wasn’t indisposed with someone before I barged in. It had happened a few times in the past.

“Aw, babe.” She greeted me with open arms. “Men are dicks.”

“I don’t think he’s a dick, honestly. Despite the fact that he definitely was hot one minute and cold the next and promised me he wouldn’t do it anymore, and then did it anyway.” Fin wasn’t trying to hurt me. He wasn’t trying to be an asshole. It felt like he was, but the way he’d looked at me….

No one had ever looked at me that way before. Ever.

Chloe was skeptical, but she played the best friend role and comforted me with her shoulder and food, wine, and bad television.

“Do you mind if I stay over?” I asked as I finished my second glass of wine. So what if I had classes tomorrow, and one of my event planning meetings? I needed this tonight.

“What’s mine is yours, girlfriend.” I’d thought about moving in with Chloe before, but we both really liked our own space. She was my best friend in the entire world, but I didn’t know if we could actually live with each other without it ruining the friendship. It was a risk neither of us was willing to take for the sake of lower rent.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” She handed me a cup of tea after I’d finished the wine and she’d made a bed up for me on the couch. I had several sets of clothes here, but I’d have to go home and pick up my homework and notes before class.

“Yeah. I’ll get over it. Good thing it ended now and not further in where feelings had actually been involved.” I tried to laugh, but it was false. My feelings had been involved. Despite only knowing the man for a few days, I’d started caring for him. Not falling. Not love. Not yet. Like. I was definitely in like with him. Deep like.

And now it was over. Ended just as soon as it had begun. I hoped Rory wouldn’t be mad at me and it wouldn’t make things uncomfortable with her parents. They were still harboring the delusion that Rory and Fin were somehow destined to be together, and if they only wished and pushed them together hard enough, it would happen.

“Don’t tell Rory yet, okay? I really don’t want her to feel bad for setting us up and it falling apart. Give it a few days to simmer down. I hope he doesn’t say anything to her.” Maybe I should just send him a message and ask him not to, but that would mean contacting him, and my ego was still bruised.

Decisions, decisions.

“Boys are awful,” I said. She patted my head sympathetically and we sat together for a while, not saying a word.
