Chapter 15

Jane spent the rest of the weekend debating whether or not to quit her job.

She tried to drown her sorrows in fan fiction, but not even the latest Doctor Who/Anne of Green Gables crossover could soothe her.

The scene with Teo had been that bad. She couldn’t imagine ever having to see him again, never mind having to talk to him, to be civil.

He had every right to say what he’d said—it really wasn’t any of her business—but that didn’t mean Jane needed to go back for more. If Jane had taken a few more days to think about telling him, if she hadn’t become so excited when an e-mail came back from the college in Virginia telling her that Mateo Rodriguez now worked in Illinois, maybe things would be different.

If only Jane had listened to Margo and taken her warnings more seriously.

But all Jane could see was Teo’s smiling face when she told him she had found his father. She kept imagining the moment in her head, and it went nothing like what had happened at the playground.

As soon as she’d seen the dawning realization on his face as he read the caption, she knew she’d made the wrong decision. But at that point there was no way to stop it. By the time she knew she’d made a mistake, Teo already understood what was going on.

Over the past month, Teo had become one of her favorite people. Without Ravi around, he was awesome. He was fun and reliable, always willing to hang out. It was obvious to Jane that part of it was Teo’s nature: He hated being alone. So, sure, maybe he was using her, but Jane didn’t mind. She didn’t exactly have friends beating down her door, either. There were worse people to spend time with than Teo Garcia. Losing him as a friend was the worst part of this misunderstanding. Even worse than losing whatever might have been happening between them.

There had to be some way to fix this.

On Sunday night, Jane spent hours with her trusty Magic 8 Ball. She had a long list of yes-or-no questions about this shitstorm with Teo, and she asked every single one of them, even if they were sort of redundant.

“Does Teo hate me?”

It is decidedly so.

“Will he hate me forever?”

Better not tell you now.

“Will Teo ever forgive me?”

Outlook good.

“Should I text him and apologize?”

Reply hazy, try again.

Jane refocused on the question.

“Should I text him and apologize?”

Reply hazy, try again.

Jane groaned in frustration. She really wanted an answer to this question. Apologizing was something she could do right away. Maybe it would make her feel better to contact him on her own terms.

The fourth time the ball told her Reply hazy, try again, she decided to move on to a different line of questioning.

“Did I make a huge mistake?”

Without a doubt.

“Can I make it up to him?”

Yes, definitely.

“I wish you could tell me how to make it up to him,” she said to the Magic 8. It was great for answering questions but terrible at giving advice.
