Me
Is Colson still in Lauderdale?
Hayden
He left this afternoon.
Me
With a yacht?
Hayden
It’s getting delivered to California within the next two weeks.
Me
Did you two discuss me at all? You know I have to ask.
Besides, I know when I called you, you were together on a sea trial, so I’m assuming he overheard some, if not all, of ourconversation.
Hayden
As soon as I brought up the subject, he shot me down pretty fast.
Me
So, he didn’t say a word about me? Not even one?
Hayden
Just that there’s nothing between you two, and whatever it was, it’s in the past. I tried to press for more, but he wouldn’t let me. I didn’t bring you up again, and neither did he.
Me
Damn it, Hayden.
Hayden
Have you spoken to him?
Me
No.
Hayden
But you have feelings for him …
Me
I do.
Hayden
So, are you telling me you’re giving up?
