“I… I mean… shit… I don’t know.”
She frowned. “What’s holding you back?”
“You see, I can’t figure out what it is. I forgive him and—”
“Forgive him for what?”
I hadn’t told her what happened between us. It just never came up until now.
“To make a long, explicit story short, he broke my heart after I asked him to take my virginity at his graduation party.”
Her mouth dropped open.
“Yeah, I know. It wasn’t one of my finest moments.” I grabbed my face. “Just remembering now makes me want to die of embarrassment.”
“And Ledger turned you down because of Chance?”
“I forget how smart and perceptive you are.”
“You have to be when you’re raised by all men.”
I chuckled.
“Chance seems fine with everything now, though.”
I nodded. “Yeah, he’s coming around.”
“He would have come around back then too.”
“Probably, but your brother didn’t want to risk losing his friendship, so he chose him over me.”
“Is that why you stopped visiting?”
“Yeah.”
“That makes sense, but are you sure you’ve forgiven him? Maybe that’s what’s holding you back?”
“I thought it was that, but it’s not. I can wholeheartedly say that I have.”
“Do you love him?”
I nodded again. “I do.”
“Does he know that?”
I shook my head.
“Why not?”
“I don’t know. I just can’t say it to him.”
“But you can say it to me?”
“I guess.”
“Is there anything I can do for you?”
“You’re doing it right now by just listening to me.”
