I roll my eyes, taking my glass as she drops down on the bed next to me.

“Don’t be dramatic. It’s a one-night stand.”

“I feel icky.”

She actually shivers.

“Go take a shower and we can nap. It’s fine. You used protection, right?” I pin her with a glare.

“Uh. I think so? I’m pretty sure.”

I slap her arm.

“Come on!”

“What?! I know the first time we did. I don’t know about the seventh!”

“Let’s talk about it when the hangovers have gone away. Deal?” I tell her.

“Yeah. Did you crash here on your own?” she asks.

I nod.

“Yes.”

“There is a but coming?” she questions.

“I called Conan when I was leaving the bar.”

“Oh God. Did you rip him a new one?”

I shake my head.

“Worse.”

“Fuck. You told him you love him and want his babies?” The shock in her voice makes me laugh.

“Okay. No. Better than that. I said I missed him.”

“Oh. Well, your drunk brain was just telling the truth.”

“It does get worse.” I trail off.

“When he said he misses me too, I hung up and blocked him again.”

She spits out her water.

“Damn. You really are out to make him suffer.”

I swallow the lump in my throat. I don’t want to see him hurt. I don’t know what I want. Time to think.

But then when I do think, he is the only thing on my mind.

“Do you think you could forgive him?” Lily asks seriously.

“I honestly don’t know the answer right now. Sometimes I think it might have been better if he cheated or something.”

Lily shakes her head.
