He reached across the console and grabbed her hand. “You know when you get really good news, and you’re dying to share it? That’s how I feel about this. Like I want to shout it to the world that Kayla Green is in love with me.”

Kayla smiled at his exuberance. “You might want to tell your parents first.”

Jack’s face fell. “Right.”

She squeezed his hand. “I’ll go with you, if you want me to.”

He shook his head. “This was my doing, and I need to fix it.”

“I didn’t have to agree to move in with you,” she pointed out.

“Why did you?” He eyed her curiously.

This was a day for confessions, so … “Secretly, I hoped this would happen.”

“That we would have an awkward meal with your parents?” Jack teased.

Kayla scowled at him.

“Sorry. I know what you meant because I was hoping for the same thing, too.”

Honesty had never felt so good. Kayla didn’t expect everything to be perfect, but with friendship as their foundation, she felt confident that things would only get better from here.
