Chapter 373

  I decided to leave early on Friday, wanting to have as much time with Shane as possible to let him know not only that I’m sorry, but also that I’m still willing for the two of us to be exclusive. I need him to understand that sometimes, okay most of the time, I’m impulsive. That has worked for me up until now. But this is too important. Shane is too important. He has enough on his plate right now without having to worry that he did something wrong withWhen I arrive, I’m excited to see Shane standing on the front steps waiting for me. I’m a bit surprised that he has someone standing with him, someone that I’m pretty sure I’ve met, but I don’t remember his name.I get out of the car and race into his arms.“Shane! It’s so good to see you! I came early so we could talk.’”
