“Wow. You look kind of rough. Late night?” Natalie’s brows lifted suggestively.

“Sort of.” Listlessly, I stacked coffee cups behind the counter. I’d hardly slept, and I was so tired when my alarm went off I’d nearly called in sick.

“Did you have fun?” Natalie prompted, loading muffins into the display case.

“Yes.” I sighed. “And then no. I need coffee.”

“Help yourself.” She nodded toward the pot. “Why no?”

As we went through the morning routine, I filled her in on what I’d learned about Sebastian over the last couple days—his OCD, his fear of harming people, his past, his cabin, his family, his aversion to relationships, his former crush on me…everything I knew. I even told her about snooping in his notebook.

She gasped. “What? That’s awful! I can’t believe you did that!”

I grimaced. “I know. I shouldn’t have. But I was so curious about him, and he wouldn’t talk to me! He still won’t.”

She looked confused. “What do you mean? You just told me a crap ton of info about him. Didn’t he tell you all that?”

My chin slid forward. “Well, yeah, he tells me that kind of stuff. But he doesn’t—” I stopped. He did talk to me, it wasn’t that so much. “OK, it’s not that he won’t talk, it’s that he will, and he says these sweet, crazy things, and then stuff happens, and he freaks out and turns into an asshole. He’s too hot and cold.”

“What kind of stuff happens?” she asked, her eyebrows lifting.

I sighed. Of course she focused on that part. “Sex stuff.”

She gasped. “You had sex?”

“Yeah. And it was amazing,” I said sadly. “Best I’ve ever had.”

“Wow.” The first customers were starting to arrive, so we had to get to work, but we agreed to go for a drink that night to talk, and I texted Jillian to join us too.

All morning and afternoon, I mulled over what had happened, and by the time we closed the shop I had to admit there’d been a lot more good moments than bad last night. Had I jumped down his throat too quickly? All he’d done was suggest driving me home.

But no. No.

I could tell that something was different with him after that last time in his room. I didn’t really think he’d used me for sex—I’d only said that to hurt him. But something had happened to make him close off by the end of the night. The guy who’d driven me home was not the same guy I’d lain in the hammock with.

So who was it? And how could I get the other one back?

After we closed, I went home and took a long nap. When I woke up, I felt more rested but had no better understanding of Sebastian’s motives for shutting me out. Maybe my sisters would have some insight.

We met at Trattoria Stella at seven and sat at the bar, Jillian flanking me on one side and Nat on the other.

“So what’s new?” Jillian shrugged out of her jacket. She looked
