It’s more like crushing really hard on the beautiful ag teacher and following her around like a puppy until she eventually caves and realizes we’re meant to live happily ever after together …
Loren
Oh, I love it when we switch to his POV and he’s already down bad!
Is this your way of asking me to put in a good word for you?
Rowan
I don’t know exactly what that means, but I’m pretty sure I am in fact “down bad.”
And, yes, please, I’ll take allthe help I can get.
Loren

This time I can’t help smiling when I slip my phone into my pocket and walk into my next appointment, nor can I stop myself from checking every so often and hoping for a text from Claire. Shortly after lunch, I get a message that makes my heart quicken.
Claire
You’re the worst.
Rowan
Aw. I love you, too.
Claire
Thank you for the flowers and candy.
Rowan
You’re welcome. How are you feeling?
Claire
Crampy but less weepy, thanks to you.
Actually, scratch that, since you made me cry in the teachers’ lounge today.
Are you planning on stopping by before you drive back to BR?
Rowan
Are you … asking me to stop by?
Claire
I mean, Frankie and Oscar will probably be expecting you …
(Don’t tell them I said this, but I’m afraid they’re a little obsessed with you.)
Rowan
… and I haven’t even gotten any wiener selfies lately.
Claire
