Chapter 19

AFTER THE EVENTS OF THE night before , tbe prospect ofmeeting Danny for lunch seemed particularly anti- climactic. But I figured it would give me the chance to make a clean break; I knew after that kiss with Luke, there wouldn't be any more nonsense on my part about trying to see both men at the same time. People dated multiple partners — and slept with them, for all I knew — every day. I just wasn't that sort of person, though, and it would be cruel to give Danny any more false hope. If he even had any. He picked me up in his little white Nissan truck. Shockingly, he was only about five minutes late, and I knew he must really be making an effort.

Too little, too late, I thought, but I couldn't help feeling a little sorry for him.
