By the time I got back to my car, the sun was starting to go down. The skin on my face felt tight and warm to the touch; I’d probably gotten a pretty good sunburn. I was thinking I’d just go home, take a cool shower, and take it easy for the rest of the night, but then Caroline texted and asked if I wanted to stop by and help her eat the Mediterranean takeout she’d gotten.

“Look at all this food,” she said when I got there. “All this, for one person. Allegedly. It’s crazy!”

Her small kitchen table was covered in food—dolmas, lamb shawarma, tabouli, falafel. “I hope you’re hungry. So . . . you said you went with Ian on a boat? When?”

“Today.”

“Today? What—did you get up at the ass-crack of dawn or something?”

I grabbed an olive and started to suck on it. “No, it was during work. He just came up to me and asked if I wanted to, like it was the most normal thing on the face of the planet to do. And . . . and we kissed.”

Her eyes widened and a grin broke out on her face. “You did?! I knew it! How was it?”

I bit into the olive, working the pit out. “It was really good. But . . . I really don’t know if I can do this.”

“What are you talking about?” Caroline asked. “Of course you can. I can tell that you like him, too. And this is the perfect way to get Noah to leave you alone. Once he sees that you’re involved with someone else, I bet he’ll back off. He’ll realize that there’s no point.”

“That’d be nice, but I don’t know if it’s going to be so simple,” I said. “And I just don’t know if I can be involved with someone like Ian.”

“But why? What are you so afraid of?”

What was I so afraid of? I wasn’t sure. I’d spent all weekend trying to figure it out, yet here it was, Sunday night, and I was no closer to getting to any sort of answer. “I don’t know,” I said. “I don’t want to screw it up.”

Caroline did not look impressed. “So better to just not do anything? Better to just act like you’re completely not interested, even though a blind person could see that you are?”

“I know it sounds foolish. And stupid. But you should see him, Caroline. He gorgeous, but it’s more than that . . . he exudes this confidence like no one I’ve ever met before. It’s like it’s magnetic.”

“Yeah, would you like to know why it’s like that?”

“Yeah, I would, actually. I am totally not used to feeling this way toward anyone.”

“Because that’s basically your opposite.”

I sniffed. “Gee, thanks.”

“I’m not saying you don’t have any self-esteem, but you constantly doubt yourself. Even over things that you know you can do.”

“I don’t mean to. I just kind of feel like he’s out of my league.”

I spit the olive pit out. “He’s absolutely not out of your league.
