Oh, boy…that was a lot. I huffed out a breath, labeled the promised photo and shoved it all into an envelope. If I never heard from her again, I wouldn’t actually be shocked. But hopefully, she was feeling the same things I did, and I’d hear from her soon enough.

If I didn’t…well, I’d always have a stack of letters and a few photos to remind me of the first time I ever fell in love.

CHAPTER 7

LIVVY

All my love, Byron…

I hugged the letter to my chest, tears pricking my eyes while I spun in a slow circle. All his love. Did he love me? Or was that just a more familiar closing?

No…he hadn’t used it before, and I wasn’t going to examine it. I loved him, too. All the questions about my feelings coalesced into one answer, a resounding yes.

I wanted to sit down and write him immediately, to confirm my feelings back to him, but I had a girls night planned with a couple classmates from school. I’d been attempting to be more social.

I didn’t have to leave for a few minutes, so I indulged myself in a few minutes of staring at Byron’s picture. I picked him out easily since he’d labeled the photo well. He was tall, leanly muscled and so damn cute I just wanted to hug him. Okay, I wanted to do way more than that. All the guys with him were trying to look serious and tough in the pic, yet Byron had a tiny, mischievous smirk. And his glasses. They were the geeky-chic Clark Kent type. This man checked all my boxes and some I didn’t even know I had.

And he had a crush on me. I was special to him.

Oh, Byron… Same!

The alarm on my phone went off, reminding me it was time to meet my friends at the club. I’d put on a cute little black dress with a flared skirt and a gold stripe about an inch from the hem. I thought I looked pretty good and it complimented my curves, casual but not too casual. I’d put on a pair of strappy, heeled booties that were actually pretty comfortable and left my hair down in fat curls. I liked the look so much, I’d taken a pic in the full-length mirror on my closet door.

When I got to the club, though, I kind of regretted all my decisions. The other girls were in jeans and cropped tops that showed varying slivers of their bellies, depending on the girl. All three were tall and blonde. They all wore heels, too, but I felt out of place. Well, shoot.

“Olivia!” Hayley exclaimed. “You look darling.”

Darling. Great. I smiled and said thanks because she was being genuinely nice, even as her two friends eyed me with unconcealed judgment.

“You know Monica and Karen,” Hayley continued.

Wish I didn’t…

“Yeah. Hi, guys,” I said, brazening it out.

“Guys,” Karen scoffed. “We’re women. The use of guys as a generic collective is a misogynistic influence from our patriarchal society.”

Yeah, no… She did not.
