I take a sip of my beer and sit it down on the table, waiting for Jack to read me the riot act. He’s staring at me as if he is trying to fit a puzzle piece into a place that doesn’t quite fit.

“So, Emily huh?” He asks, raising an eyebrow.

“Don’t listen to Mrs. Miller. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”

Jack sips his beer then grins. “I wouldn’t say that. She is one of the biggest gossips in the entire town and she knows everything and everyone. So do you have a thing for my sister?”

I look across the table at my oldest friend. This is not a friendship I’m willing to lose but the thought of not being with Emily is eating me alive.

“Yes.” I wait for Jack to yell at me but it doesn’t come so I continue, “She’s beautiful, funny, intelligent, and everyone is drawn to her. What’s not to like?”

Jack nods his head. “How long?”

“How long, what?”

“How long have you been in love with her?” He asks and I choke on my beer, my eyes watering. He comes over and pats me on the back maybe a little too hard.

My eyes wide, I respond, “Jack, no one said anything about love.”

He sits back down across from me and shakes his head. “Then you best stay away from her because you know that she is a forever after girl. And my sister.” He sips his beer and looks at me a bit sternly. I sit back in my chair.

“I know that, why do you think I’ve never acted on it?” I cover my face with my hands. I need to staple my mouth shut.

“Wait. What?” Now it’s Jack’s turn to widen his eyes. “What does that mean ‘never acted on it?’ How long have you had feelings for her?”

I take a deep breath and get ready to jump off the proverbial ledge. I’m tired of harboring this secret and if telling him means that he wants nothing to do with me, I’ll deal with that.

“I’ve felt this way about her since high school. I tried to go off to college and football and forget all about her. I did everything I could to push any and all thoughts of her from my mind. Heck, I even dated women so far the opposite of Emily that they shouldn’t even be in the same universe. I tried to stop thinking about her smile, the way she laughs, how kind she is…”

“Okay before you go any further, that’s my sister and I don’t want to hear about all her other attributes that you’ve been admiring since we were kids.” He shakes his head, then asks seriously. “Why didn’t you ever do anything about it?

“Seriously? She’s your sister! How many times did you warn all of us guys away from her? That you would break bones and smash sensitive body parts if we so much as looked at her.”

Jack smirks. “Glad to know my warning stuck. I didn’t mean it. If you had real feelings for her I would have been the first one to tell you to go for it.
