“He wanted to talk to me,” I finally told her.
“About what?” she asked with surprise etched all over her pretty face.
“He wanted to apologize for ghosting me.”
Her brows furrowed. “Two months later?”
I nodded. “Yeah, and that’s what I asked.”
“What did he say?”
“He’s been busy,” I replied dryly.
“Busy?”
“Yep,” I drawled out. “Busy.
Delta just stared at me a bit before she finally blurted, “What the fuck?”
I laughed. I couldn’t help it. It was such an appropriate response to this entire ordeal. I had no idea why Ross wanted to make amends now, but I knew I needed to stay away from him. He didn’t deserve my forgiveness, and I wasn’t entirely sure that I wanted to give it to him.
“That’s what he said.”
Her shoulders dropped as she slumped back against the couch. “And what did you say?”
I shrugged. “I told him that he didn’t need to apologize. I said that there were no hard feelings, and he certainly didn’t need to apologize when all we’d been doing is fucking.”
Delta winced. “Christ, you said that?”
I curled my legs underneath my ass, working to get more comfortable. “While I can admit that it probably wasn’t my finest moment, what else was I supposed to say?” I grumbled. “I had to salvagesomepride.”
Her face softened, and I knew it was because she was aware that I still had feelings for him. “But aren’t you curious?” she asked. “Don’t you want to know why he ghosted you?”
I shook my head. “Not at all,” I told her truthfully. “I don’t need to hear some…” I let out a pathetic sigh. “I’m afraid that the feelings that I still have for him are going towantto believe whatever he says, you know.”
“Oh, Sutton,” she whispered.
“He could tell me that he got abducted by aliens, and I have a feeling that my vagina will want to believe him so badly that we will.”
She let out a choked laugh. “Sucks when the sex is amazing.”
I nodded in agreement. “What’s that saying? People eat lies when their hearts are hungry? Or whatever it is.”
“Or in this case, vaginas.”
That got a laugh out of me. “Be serious,” I chided, still laughing.
Delta stopped laughing, but she still had a smile on her face. “Look, babe, I get that he hurt you. I do,” she said. “But…well, have you considered that hearing him out might help you get over him?”
“What do you mean?”
“You are always going to be plagued with wondering what went wrong,” she went on. “That could be one of the reasons that you’re not getting over him. There’s no closure for you with this yet. And no matter what people say, closure is a big part of moving on. If his explanation is stupid, then you can finally move on with the reassurance that you hadn’t fallen deeper in love with the asshole. You’ll be grateful that you hadn’t wasted more than two weeks on him.”
“And what if his explanation isn’t stupid?” I asked. “What happens then?”
“Then you’ll feel better at knowing that it wasn’t you,” she replied sagely. “You’ll quit doubting yourself or questioning why you hadn’t seen it coming. Either way, you still get to move on from this.” Delta shrugged a dainty shoulder. “Hearing him out doesn’t mean you have to give him a second chance, and…well, honestly, Sutton, did he even say anything about wanting to get back together?”
I shook my head. “No.”
