Dylan ht a slight flinch in her face as she nodded and s back at Peaches

Not knohat to do, I did the only thing I could think of doing to get us away froaze "Hey, wanna dance?" I said, holding out an arht up to me and took my arm as alked out on the sa idiot for a ro so with Peaches, and she looked up at nant "So," she said, biting her lip A feeeks ago, I iven in to a second chance with her, but are, that there was no Gavin--never was…? Well, Peaches didn’t have a chance

"So," I said, not really even looking at her

"I’," she said, a co to the surface now I spun her around once in a twirl, ain soled when I did this, drawing Nolan’s attention And the flash of hurt on her face was un her back in so her head was out of my line of vision I watched Nolan walk back over to the pool tables with her cowboy and a few of his friends At least no one would touch her while she was playing pool

"You know, I’m not usually easy like that," Jenny said I just nodded and shtening as I watched her down three shots from a tray with her cowboy friends

"Oh, I had no idea," I shrugged tightly

She hed heavily and then rolled her eyes, spinning herself froain "It’s okay, Reed I kneho you were And I was totally just hitting on you that night, the entire time My roo one side of her uilty smile "And you can relax I didn’t tell my cousin about how I stripped for you, and you bailed on me after I threw myself you It’s not really one of my finest moments"

Relief washed over me, and my feet felt like they had shed a little of the concrete that had been weighing them down since I saw her walk from the bathroom "She just knows that you walked me home, and we sort of kissed but that you rejected me," she continued

Okay, we did sort of kiss I could live with this And it wouldn’t ainst me at soenuinely now, the breath that I’d been holding finally exhaling "Yeah, so…I’m so sorry about all of that," I ad"

I was looking for Nolan again, and Jenny followed aze, and then looked back at hed and brushed her hand along the shoulder of Mr Cowboy "Ah, yeah…I see that," she s It seems I’d underestimated both Dylan and Jenny

"You wanna tell me about it?" Jenny said, her head tilted a bit, and her shoulders rose like she was truly interested in hearing my relationship problems I considered it for a ht behind her, and heard her cough loudly just to get our attention and force us to face her

"Excuse ed a little at Jenny, and just estured toward Sarah Jenny just shook her head and rolled her eyes, walking back to my brother and Dylan at the bar

"Thanks," I said to Sarah

"Really? You’re thanking me?" she said, a little confused

"Yes Yes, I airl Let’s just say, she was alh

Not quite ready to trust me, Sarah just looked at me sideways, and continued our dance "Ooooookay," she said, full of skepticish, e’ve got bigger problems"
