The ache in Sierra’s gut was so tight, it was hard to breathe.

One short text from Van saying: I have a lot to explain to you. See you at dinnerish time. But late dinnerish time.

She had no idea what “dinnerish” time meant to Van, much less “late” dinnerish time.

Part of her wanted to make another big meal, but the thought of cramming something into her muffin-stuffed stomach wasn’t appealing. Also, Donovan didn’t really deserve any kind of big meal after that morning.

She absently flipped through Pinterest and the room slowly grew darker with the lessening light. She second-guessed her decision to be in her comfortable clothes instead of another dress. Got angry with herself for worrying about when Van would come.

She wanted to jump out of her own skin.

She flipped through the recipes in her iPad again as she blew the hair off her face. And then flipped over to her messages, wondering if he’d sent her anything new.

Hovering over the message button, she almost sent Donovan a text, but stopped. She didn’t want to seem too eager, or needy or…young... And the last thing she needed was to be rejected. Again.

Screw this. She stood up and grabbed another chocolate muffin, warming it in the microwave and adding some caramel sauce to the top. It went against everything she’d learned about how to take care of her body, but when a girl finally gets to sleep with the guy she’s always wanted to have sex with, and he tells her he needs space, there’s some wiggle room in the diet plan.

She pinched off a small piece of muffin and placed it in her mouth.

“Mmmmm,” she moaned, letting her eyes fall closed just as the door clicked open.

“You don’t even need me,” Van teased, and then froze, his face tight. “Maybe that was totally… That was totally not the right thing to say in this situation.”

Sierra snorted, relief tingling through her. “No. It was perfect.” That one comment, turned them back into the old Donovan and Sierra—or at least got them closer.

He rubbed his forehead. “Let’s sit.”

She didn’t want to sit. She didn’t want to talk. She wanted another night with him like the one they had in his drunken stupor. Only without him being drunk. She set down her muffin.

Donovan looked more sad and confused than she’d ever seen him. She for sure didn’t want to know what he was going to say.

Sierra followed, and the mood changed. Less… Maybe less the old Sierra and Donovan and something new. Different. Adult. Only she had no idea if it would end up with them together, or her feeling totally humiliated and working as hard to avoid him as he’d worked avoiding her.

Donovan sat sideways and leaned his head against the back of the couch, facing her.

Sierra sat and did the same, holding her breath.

“Don’t for one second think I don’t like you.”

Tears pressed against the back of her eyes. This was it. The let down. Why couldn’t she just go back and change last night? She could have stopped it with a kiss.
