"Where are you from?" Luke asked

Will cleared his voice

"With the twenty questions, I’d think Luke was the brother," Zack said with a laugh

Both Will and Luke snapped their heads at Zack, and Grace chuckled nervously

Libby atte you need to knoe are all very close We grew up together Will, Luke, and Alex’s brother, Colt, have always been a bit…overprotective Let’s chill out on the questions, Luke Okay?"

Luke glared at Zack and then looked at Libby "Fine," he said between gritted teeth

"Well, to answer your question, I’s"

"I love Colorado," I said with a smile

Zack turned to ood schools in Colorado? You had to come to Texas?" Luke asked

Zack’s sood schools My father lives in Austin I wanted to be close to hi h school"

Grace and I both sucked in a breath of air "I’m so sorry," we both said at the same time

Luke looked down and then back up at him "I’m really sorry to hear that"

"I’m sorry to hear that, Zack," Will said

"No worries Thank you though It’s much appreciated"

For the rest of dinner, Luke didn’t utter a word to Libby or Zack He never even so much as looked at the to A&M next year He asked about her plans for the weekend, and then he ements to show her around tomorrow and Saturday

My heart hurt as I watched the whole thing play out I couldn’t help but notice Libby looking at Luke I could understand her wanting to move on since Luke hadn’t made a move

Dinner ended, and we alllot Luke kissed Grace and ood-bye

He turned to shake Zack’s hand "It was niceyou, Zack"

"Same here, Luke"

Luke turned to Libby His whole body seemed to slump over, and his eyes looked so sad "Lib, I’ll see you around"

I saw the light from the streetlamp catch Libby’s eyes They filled with tears as she nodded her head without uttering a word back to Luke
