“Would you have told me no if I asked to be with you?” I tried to sit up, but my body felt too heavy. “Corey?”
“I don’t think so,” he said, pausing. “I would’ve said, not right now, though.”
“Not right now?”
He nodded. “We were too young, but for the record, I’m pretty sure I damn near loved you, too.”
“Okay.” I shut my eyes and felt my body succumbing to sleep, but I felt him pressing a kiss against my forehead.
“Hayley?” he whispered.
“Yeah?” I kept my eyes shut.
“I’m going to send you an email tomorrow, and I’m going to tell you exactly what happened between us tonight.”
“Um hmmm.” I was dozing off.
“It’s going to be short and to the point, and I’m going to send it to protect the both of us.” He paused. “But if by chance you remember what I’m about to say—because I can’t believe I’m about to say this shit and I swear I’ll deny it... You’re honestly the only girl I’ve ever cared about, and I know it’s been years and we’ve grown in different ways, but I never stopped caring about you. And if you want to try us now, and get to know each other again, I wouldn’t say not right now. I would say yes.”
“Corey?” I opened my eyes, my head still feeling fuzzy.
“Yeah, Hayley?”
“What did you just say?”
