“Sure, what is it?”
“Do you remember Molly Price?”
Sarah’s eyebrows shot up in shock. “I’m surprised you’re bringing her up. I’ve never heard you talk about her until now. But yes, I remember her. Everyone would after what happened. Of course, I was friends with her before all that went down. We lost track after she left town though.”
“Well, she’s back in town for the reunion. We bumped into each other and we ended up making plans to go on a double date.”
“That’s an interesting turn of events. I wouldn’t have thought she would want to have anything to do with you, considering what you and your friends did to her.”
“I know, and I feel really bad about all of that. I—”
Sarah raised her hand and stopped him. “I’m not the person you need to apologize to or explain what happened. It’s none of my business. I make it a point to judge someone based on my own interactions with them. Over the years, you’ve proven to be a good person.”
“Thanks, it’s nice of you to say that. And just so you know, I did apologize to her and that’s why I asked her to go out, so I could treat her to dinner. She suggested a double date, and that’s where you come in.”
She gave him a puzzled look. “You know I’m moving overseas in a few weeks, right, Spencer? I mean, I’m flattered, but it’s not a good idea. Plus, I don’t really see you that way—more like a brother.”
“Oh, I didn’t mean it that way,” Spencer said, shaking his head. “I was hoping you would go with me as a friend. I can’t go alone, and I don’t want to give another woman the wrong impression. I figured I could explain the situation, and you would understand.”
Sarah thought about it for a few seconds, then said, “Sure, I guess I can go along and help you out.” She gave him a skeptical look as she added, “But I’m betting it’s going to be an awkward night.”
Spencer hoped Sarah was wrong, but part of him knew she was probably right. He wasn’t looking forward to spending the night watching Molly dote on another man, let alone watch another man kiss the woman who still made his heart race every time he looked at her.
