“I don’t want to see you hurt, Sab.”
“I don’t want to see myself hurt either.” Back in the kitchen, she scrubbed the counter with a damp cloth and continued her thought from earlier. “Which is why I’m trying to wrap this up while I have a scrap of dignity left. Yes, the dates went well. Yes, we had a great time while I lived with him. Yes, it was the best sex of my life—”
Luke groaned.
“Sorry. But you see my point, right? I can’t top that off with an I-love-you. I’ve made up my mind to go back to being friends with Flynn. Just friends. When I make up my mind about something, you know I do it.”
“I know.” Luke walked over to her, bending his head to look down at her. Funny, she remembered when he was shorter than her. He’d been a pain in her butt then, and not one of her closest confidants. “Are you sure this is how you want to play it?”
She wasn’t, but there was no other graceful way out of it. “I’m afraid if I wait too long Flynn will have to give me a speech explaining how temporary we were.”
“Okay.” Luke sounded resigned as he went to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of beer. “Let’s make a plan for you to pull the trigger before he can.”
Hope filled her chest. “Thank you, Luke!”
Her excitement about making a plan mingled with pain in the region of her lovesick heart, but she ignored it.
This was the best solution—the only solution. Soon enough she’d be on the other side, Flynn back where he belonged, her heart having accepted that he wasn’t theirs for keeps.
The sooner she let him know they were through, the sooner she would heal.
She hoped.
