Chapter Thirteen: Inner Circle

Kayla wiggled her toes in the sand.

After dinner, she had suggested they take a walk on the beach, just to digest a little before the ride back to Lyndon.

As soon as she hit the sand, she had tugged her boots off, and Tristen had done the same.

He grabbed her hand without hesitation as they strolled out under the stars, and she didn’t pull away.

Kayla didn’t have high expectations for the date when she woke up that morning. She had decided that their so-called connection of the weekend before had been fueled by alcohol. Once they spent time together, without the blurring effect of wine or cocktails, they would both realize that there was nothing special between them.

It would be awkward, and when it ended, they would go back to being vague acquaintances.

Kayla’s assumptions had been shattered once the date began. To her surprise, she enjoyed every minute she spent in Tristen’s company.

If anything, they were getting along even better than they had last week. Conversation was easy with him. She always knew he was funny, but he was smart as well. Far smarter than she had given him credit for. And of course, it didn’t hurt his suit that he was extremely handsome. Dressed up, in jeans and a T-shirt, it didn’t matter.

Kayla didn’t think before speaking with Tristen. She didn’t measure every word to make sure she sounded the way she wanted to. Kayla had never been so at ease with someone so soon. She and Tristen had never been close; he had just been a guy from the club who she didn’t mind chatting with if she had to.

Sure, she was comfortable with Cleo and her family, but usually, it took time for Kayla to relax around other people. Kayla had a very short list of people in her inner circle. She rarely made new additions.

But now, here she was, having spent almost the entire day with Tristen, and talking to him as if they had known each other since birth. Even the dress had been so sweet and suited her to a T. Kayla was particular about her clothes, but somehow Tristen had found an ideal outfit for her. It wasn’t fair that he was so good at getting to know her.

As they walked towards the water to dip their toes in, Kayla considered that she might have to add Tristen to her list of inner circle members.

As soon as that daring thought entered her head, Kayla panicked. She was letting her guard slip so easily. Tristen was able to slip through all her defenses in just a few hours. There was a reason her inner circle was so small. Kayla needed it that way to keep her centered and focused. She couldn’t just add names willy-nilly. No way.

He was a distraction, plain and simple. Yes, he had said a lot of pretty words at dinner about how she might miss her entire life and how she could use a little happiness.

He had nice ideas, but he was missing the point.
