My insides clenched.
She put her hand on mine. “No, there’s no one else. Not in the way you’re asking.”
I relaxed a little. “Then, what is it?”
She ran her fingers through her hair and groaned. “Ugh. It’s like mind control!”
Noah narrowed his eyes. “It’s him, isn’t it?”
My heart plunged. “Who?”
Noah glanced at me. “That guy.”
“What guy?” But when I closed my eyes, I saw that Archer lookalike throwing a punch at my face. “Oh. Him.”
“Yes,” she said. “My ex. Grayson.”
“Oh.”
“I told you, I’m still messed up from it,” she said. “I don’t want tobewith him anymore… but… I’m still trying to get over him.”
I looked down at her hands.
She fidgeted with her ring finger.
I rested my hand on hers. “Hey.”
She looked into my eyes.
“It’s okay. It’s okay that you’re not over him.”
“I’m trying.” Tears beaded in the corners of her eyes. “I don’t even want to talk about him around you guys…”
“You don’t have to. And you don’t have to be over him,” I said. But a jealous little goblin in my gut raged.
I wanted her to be over him.
I wanted her to fall in love withme.

It was true.
I wanted to be over Grayson.
Iwantedto let myself fall into… whatever this thing was with Sam and Noah, but I could still feel this toxic obsession firmly lodged in my head.
I looked at my hands. “This is my first breakup. Does it… does it ever get better?”
“Your first?” Sam said with a smile. “The first one is the worst.”
Noah scoffed.
Sam’s gaze darted to him. “The hell isyourproblem?”
Noah’s eyes gleamed. “I’ve never had a major breakup.”
