And the rage I feel toward him isn’t like me at all. Why is he being so mean to me?

Sky

Because he’s in love with you. And he thinks he can’t have you. And it’s making him a grumpy motherfucker.

Me

You’re … kidding?

Sky

Not even close.

You know he likes you, babe. Like turns to love pretty quickly when you have a connection with someone as strong as you have with him and chemistry that’s literally explosive.

Me

But he’s full of excuses. When will those go away? Or they won’t … and we were just never meant to be.

Sky

Oh, they will. When he can’t fight it anymore. It being you.

Me

God, he’s just been so spicy.

Sky

Trust me when I say, this is messing with both of your brains—not just yours.

Me

Sigh.

Tell me something good. Tell me you’re going out on a date tonight. Or tell me you’re cooking something amazing for dinner so I can be jealous I’m not there to eat it with you.

Sky

Girl dinner, which is popcorn and wine while I plow through my client’s books, trying to figure out how the hell he’s created such a mess with his month-end.

Back to you—nice try though. This is your second night in Lake Louise. Have you guys at least talked about things? Eaten together? Done anything other than discuss the upcoming construction?

Me

No. The second we get back to the hotel, we go our separate ways. We don’t eat together. We don’t talk, aside from the hotel stuff. He wants nothing to do with me.

Sky

So, where have you been eating?

Me

Room service.

Sky

What about tonight? Room service again?
