“I know.”
“Why did you enroll in summer session again?”
I shrugged, knowing exactly why I did.
It made things easier for me. I needed to get on with my life and stop holding on to the fantasy that Ledger would eventually be mine. I couldn’t do that when I basically saw him every day.
“There’s no reason to put off the inevitable. Plus, it gives me a chance to get the classes I want. Freshman are at the bottom of the barrel at the Fashion Institute, so I’ll take all the help I can get.”
“Does that mean I can’t change your mind?”
I shook my head. “You’re a little late for that. Mom and Dad already paid my yearly tuition for an out-of-state university, and they’d kill me if I decided to pull out now.”
He stepped into my room. “What if I tell them it’s my fault?”
I smiled, still gazing at him through the mirror. “I’m going to miss you too, Chance.”
He gave me a loving smile, sitting on the edge of my bed.
“It’s going to be so weird not having you around anymore.”
“You can always come and visit me, you know that. And I’ll be back for Thanksgiving.”
“That’s five months away.”
“So come and visit me at the end of the summer. There’s a pull-out couch with your name on it in my apartment.”
“Remind me why you’re living alone again?”
“You need to stop worrying about me. I’m going to be fine.”
“I just don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to live in the dorms in a city where you don’t know anyone.”
“I live near campus.”
“Whatever you say, little sister.”
I rolled my eyes. “How many times do I have to tell you that two minutes is not that big of a deal?”
“As many as it takes for you to remember that it doesn’t change the fact that you’ll always be my little sister.”
I turned in my chair to meet his eyes, changing the subject. “When do you move in with Ledger?”
“At the end of the month.” Jumping right back into the conversation I was trying to avoid, he asked, “You can always drop out and enroll at Wyoming University with us. It’s not too late to rent a three-bedroom apartment.”
“Because good ole Wyoming University has a top-notch fashion department, right?”
“Well,” he exclaimed. “Don’t forget about us little people when you become the next big thing inVogue.”
I chuckled. “Your future wife will truly appreciate how much you know about fashion because of me.”
“If by that you mean how you’ve tortured me over the years with watching every fashion show known to man?”
I chuckled again, standing before giving him a little twirl. “How do I look?”
He cocked an eyebrow. “Isn’t that dress a little much?”
“Chance, you and I both know I’ve always been a little much for this small-ass town.”
