you’ll have me.”
    “You’re serious? You want this to be something more even though I just basically got dumped?”
    “You didn’t get dumped. You left him for cheating. I understand if you’re not ready, and I’ll wait as long as you want.”
    I nodded. I knew what I wanted but I was afraid. “I just don’t want to rush, Evan. As much as I don’t want to admit it, Wes hurt me badly.”
    “I know, darlin’. We can drop the subject for now, and I won’t talk to your dad then.” He smiled, but I could tell he was hurt. I wasn’t sure how a man’s mind worked, but I was pretty sure Evan wasn’t your typical guy. We’d had sex, twice, and most men would be happy with that, but apparently Evan was not. He wanted it all, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready. I’d only been home for a little over a day.
    The rest of the drive was awkward and silent. He seemed to be mulling over my hesitance, and I didn’t know what to say. The relaxation was gone, and now I felt guilty. I hated hurting people’s feelings, but I also wouldn’t give into something if I wasn’t sure about it—never again. I did it before with Wes, and look how that turned out. It wasn’t Evan who I didn’t trust, it was me. I didn’t want to jump in too soon.
    When we pulled into the driveway, there was a truck parked in front of the house and I gasped.
    “Wes,” I said and my lip quivered. What the hell was he doing here? I unbuckled and sat frozen.
    “He’s here to get you back, I’m sure. No man will drive across that far to have a chat.”
    I looked at Evan and gave him sad smile. “I don’t think I’m ready to face him. There is so much—so much built up.”
    “Darlin’, you should talk to him. If anything for closure.” He seemed to want to say more but shook his head.
    “I’m not going to take him back if that’s what you’re worried about. I can’t get over him cheating, especially with who he cheated with.”
    He let out a breath. “Sometimes people deserve a second chance, and as much as I want to be selfish, I can’t keep you from something you might want.”
    I leaned in and kissed his cheek. “Be selfish,” I whispered, and then I opened the door and got out of his car. It was time to confront Wes, already. I was hoping for a few days before he came barging in on me. He hadn’t called or messaged so I thought maybe he’d stay away. I guess I was wrong.
    I shut the door, took a deep breath, and stormed over to where Wes was leaning against his truck. The sun was close to setting and the light on the property illuminated his features. He pushed off his truck as if he was going to come to me. I held up my hand. I didn’t want him close.
    “What do you want, Wes?”
    He didn’t speak for a second. I don’t know if it was because of my tone, or because of what I was wearing.
    “To talk to you, baby. I—I miss you.”
    I laughed. “Oh really? Did you miss me when you were fucking Alicia?” I was vulgar on purpose.
    “Zoe, damn, it wasn’t like that.”
    This was going to be good. “Then how was it like, Wes? Looked pretty dirty from where I saw it.”
    He shook his head, and I ignored the tear sliding down his cheek. He wasn’t a crier, so I knew it wasn’t some ploy. He was upset, but dammit, so was I.

Chapter 6
    “Can we talk, please? Let me explain.”
    “There’s not much to explain. You and Alicia were together in ‘our’ house, Wesley. There isn’t much more to explain now, is there?”
    “I freaked out.”
    “About what?”
    “Living together.”
    My arms crossed in defense. “You asked me to move in with you. Not the other way around. If you recall, I wasn’t ready to take that step but you convinced me.”
    He pushed off and grabbed my hands tightly. “I know. I’m so sorry.”
    I yanked my hand back angrily. “Sorry won’t fix this, Wes.”
    “What will?”
    I shook my head. “Nothing.”
    “There has to be something I can do. Come on, Zoe, five years can’t be over
