I ran as fast as I could to the house, with one hand pressed against my lips, not capable of believing I just allowed that to happen. How many times had I dreamt of what Arrow’s kiss would feel like? How many times did I think it was going to happen to only have my heart broken again? Never, not once in any of those fantasies, was Arrow married when he finally kissed me. I apologized to him before I dashed away. And I was sorry. I was sorry that I didn’t push him away when I saw his face coming down to meet mine. He didn’t even realize the sort of unbearable pain he put me through for so many years. He hurt me over and over again. He killed a piece of me constantly, and I didn’t have the strength to go through it again.

Once inside, I found Darcy tongue-tied with an attractive guy from Miller’s job. Being that I was an absolute mess inside, I couldn’t stand to wait until she was finished with “no name.” I tapped on her shoulder until she freed herself from his arms.

“We need to go. Now.” My arms were shaking, partly from the cold weather but more from what had just went down with Arrow. I felt horrible for enthusiastically kissing him back and for loving every minute of it. He was married! I kissed a married man. No matter what kind of past Arrow and I had, there was no excuse for that.

Her widening eyes looked me up and down, noticing my trembling body. “Okay, let’s go.” She waved to the man she was just kissing.

I looked over my shoulder with every quick step we took out of the house and towards the car, searching for any sign of Arrow. I didn’t see him. Once we were in the car and pulling away from the house, Darcy started asking questions.

“What happened? I thought you got a ride home. I assume with Arrow.” She looked in the mirror and then switched lanes.

“You don’t get any answer yet. Why didn’t you tell me he was in Greenville?” I asked, crossing my arms under my chest.

She sighed. “I didn’t know for certain that he’d be at the party. But I hoped he would be. He’s only been back for a couple weeks, and I only know that because a couple guys from high school were talking about it. He didn’t say anything about coming back to Greenville online, and Lacey hasn’t posted anything for a long time.” She glanced at me and then back to the road. “I thought it would be best if you two just ran into each other instead of trying to force you guys to meet up.”

“I’m not sure that seeing Arrow is a good idea at all,” I whispered, my fingers tracing my lips, mimicking where his lips had been.

“What happened?”

I took my heels off and threw them down onto the floorboard and rubbed my cramped up toes. “He kissed me.
