Chapter 23

Before Ashley even finished packing, Nick felt an overwhelming urge to see Lila. He dashed out the door to find it had begun to storm, and the rain was coming down in sheets. He was also faced with another problem: Ashley had parked him in. Rather than simply asking her to move her car, he took off down the street and sprinted the two blocks to Lila’s house.

Lila was sitting in her recliner, reading a book when the doorbell rang. Annoyed that someone was interrupting her reading time, she opened the door to find Nick standing there, soaked from head to toe. “Nick, what are you-”

“Shhhh.” He interrupted her by pressing his lips against hers and kissing her passionately.

When they finally broke apart, Lila searched his eyes. “What about Ashley?”

“She left.”

“What do you mean, she left?”

“I told her I wasn’t in love with her, and she was packing her stuff up while I came here.”

Lila closed her eyes and buried her face in Nick’s chest. “So you’re not in love with her?”

“No, Li. It’s only you. It’s always been you. I don’t know why I didn’t see that earlier,” he whispered in her ear. “I love you.”

“I love you, too.”
