“Yeah?”
“If you really want to come home, I will get on a goddamn plane tomorrow and move you.”
I rubbed at the wet that threatened to spill from my stupid, beautiful eyes. “You mean that?”
“Abso-fucking-lutely. Delta’s got a flight that leaves at six-twelve.”
He was actually looking at tickets.
“If I say yes?”
“You owe me like fifteen-hundred dollars, pizza, and beer.”
I thought about it.
Hard.
And Elliot waited for my answer.
“I love you, El,” I said.
“No road trip?”
“Not yet, anyway.”
“You still owe me pizza and beer,” he said.
I made a mental note to send him pizza and beer the next night. Because I owed him a lot more than that. “I’m good for it,” is what I said out loud.
“I know you are. You okay?”
“Not really.”
“Do me a favor, Val?”
“Anything.”
“Tomorrow, I want you to think of one way you’re going to take your head out of your ass, and text it to me.”
“Are you shitting me?”
“Nope. You gonna do it, or do I have to fly down there and kick your ass, then charge you for my plane ticket?”
Part of me wanted to tell him to come down here, cost be damned.
But that would be selfish.
I sighed. “Fine, El.”
“Good elf.”
“Fuck you, Bucky.” As in Bucky Badger, the mascot of our alma mater.
“Don’t forget to text me.”
I groaned. “Fine.”
“Love you, Val.”
