She started crying harder, but then she started laughing. She threw herself into my body. “Yes! Oh God, Will, yes, a thousand times.”
She pulled back, and I placed my hands on the sides of her face.
I whispered, “You’re mine,” and then I kissed her.
She smiled. “Always.”
“Promise me,” I whispered.
A tear slid down her face as she whispered, “I promise you, Will.”
Will pulled up to the hotel where Grace and I were staying this weekend and parked his car. I smiled, and I couldn’t wait to tell him that I had a separate room from Grace. His face had fallen when I told him Grace had come along so that we could check out A&M. I had a sneaky feeling that Grace was hoping to run into Noah again, but she’d told me I was nuts for even thinking that.
“Maybe you should go back to your dorm and pack up some clothes and your books.”
Will pulled his head back and looked at me. “I’m not sure Grace wants me bunking with y?
??all.”
I bit down on my lip and grinned. “We have our own rooms.”
The smile that spread across Will’s face caused me to giggle.
“No shit?”
“No shit. When she said she wanted to come, I told her she had to get her own room, and she agreed. She didn’t want to spoil our weekend.”
“God, I love Grace,” Will said as he lifted his eyebrows.
“Me, too!”
Will reached over and quickly kissed me. “Give me a few minutes to go back to my room and grab some stuff. When I come back, we can get some dinner.”
I nodded my head. “Sounds good. Be careful, but hurry!”
“I will, baby.”
I jumped out and headed into the Hilton Hotel. When I got up to my room, my phone pinged, and I pulled it out of my purse. Grace had dropped me off earlier at Will’s dorm, so I figured she was texting me. Instead, I saw it was from Libby.
Libby: OMG! Grace told me y’all are in town all weekend!
Me: Yep! What are you doing?
Libby: About to go to dinner at Saltgrass Steakhouse.
Me: With who?
Libby: A guy named Zack. We went out to a movie and will be heading to dinner soon.
My heart dropped to my stomach. Libby was out on a date.
Damn it, Luke.
Me: A date, huh? What about Luke, Lib?
Libby: I can’t wait for someone who clearly doesn’t want the same thing I want. Besides, he’s been hooking up with that Abigail girl the last few months.
Me: What about what he said to you, Libby?
