Chapter Twenty

Julia

The ceremony was so beautiful. I was thankful that I got up the nerve to go. I would have kicked myself for missing it. And Hunter was so happy to see me. Careful not to embarrass me by drawing attention to our conversation, he whispered in my ear how much he had missed me, how good it was to see me, and then he made me promise to hold to my decision to stay for the summer. I assured him I would. Deep down in my heart, I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that it was time. There was a lot to be said and the after effects would take far more than a couple of weeks to settle down. I could promise the summer though. I owed him that much. I owed the both of them that much.

Besides, I was looking forward to getting to know my new sister in law. I liked her immediately and it was easy to see how perfect she and Hunter were for each other. I never thought I would see the day, but that man fell hard.

Morgan seemed ever aware of where I was. I guess that was only fair, because I was more than aware of his presence. I had imagined a thousand times what I would say to him when I finally saw him. Some of those daydreams were a little more colorful than the others, but I ultimately decided that pushing him over the balcony and into the bay was probably not proper wedding etiquette.

But when he was standing right in front of me, it felt like my heart had stopped. Which was really strange, because at the same time, I could feel it beating hard like it was trying to jump right out of my chest. Every word I had ever imagined, every greeting I had rehearsed, fled my brain. I could barely get out his name.

When he hugged me, it felt like home, and that terrified me. Morgan had decided long ago to toss me away, but not before he had ripped my heart into a billion pieces. I tried to reach out to him after I had left, but he ignored me. Over and over again. Until he didn’t. The time I had needed him most, he responded. Oh, he responded alright, but I would have preferred if he would have just kept ignoring me.

He acted like none of that ever happened. Maybe it was a show. Maybe he just figured it was water under the bridge. The past was the past. Not for me it wasn’t and it never could be. Part of me wanted to shake him until his eyeballs rattled. The other part of me never wanted to leave his arms. We had to talk. That was a given. It would just have to wait until another day.

My friend Jenna linked her arm through mine. “We are sitting at the same table. I can’t wait to catch up. Texting is great and all, but it’s not the same as when we used to sit and talk for hours.
