“Good night, Jules.”
“Night. It was fun. Hope we can do it again, boyfriend.”
“Oh, babe, we will.”
He waits until I’m inside before leaving. I lean against my door, fingers pressed to my lips, trying to catch my breath.
My phone buzzes.
Craig
I can’t stand knowing you’re with someone else.
Ig-fucking-nored.
It’s followed by another one.
Nick
I’m sorry if that was too much.
I stare at the message.
Too much? Kissing him waseverything.I keep that to myself.
Julie
Every part of tonight was perfect. We did great. Thank you for being a good sport!
Nick
Helps when I have a great partner.
Julie
Do you have plans tomorrow night?
Nick
I don’t.
Julie
Want to join me at the harvest festival kickoff celebration? It’s tradition. I never miss it. Will probably head over there around five.
Nick
I’d love to join you.
My heart skips.
Julie
Can’t wait!
Nick
Me neither.
