The clock on the dashboard of the cab shines bright and red with four am

Cap sits in the passenger seat in the front, talking to our poor driver about who the hell knohat, and Thatch and I are stuffed into the back

We closed the bar down around two, dropped an extremely drunk Evan off at his apartment on the Upper East Side, and now, the cabbie is in the process of getting the rest of us home

First, me

Then, Cap

Before he has to , thirty-minute trek to New Jersey to drop off Thatch

I glance out theand watch the streetlights pass us by on a blur, but rabs my attention

Evan: DUDER BESTIE NIGHT OF MY LIVES I LOVE YOU

I grin and shake my head

Even though I had a hell of a tiroom didn’t notice I was only partially present at his bachelor party

Thank God

The last thing I wanted to do was ruin his night with e

Or worse, unload the kind of news that could literally ruin our friendship

I sigh and run a hand through my hair I have no idea what Evan will do when he finds out about what happened between Maybe andto have to tell hiain, I still need to be honest with him

He deserves that from me

I tap the screen ofbefore I’es between her and me

Her sassy remarks Our silly jokes Our near-daily conversations over the past several weeks Those dirty sext o The Deflower me, please? text she sent me after my visit to the Willises’ floral shop

It’s all there A trail of hoe evolved from friends to more than friends

Hoent from a man who simply adored her to a man who’s in love with her

God, it’s hardly been twenty-four hours since I saw her, and already, I miss her

I know I’ht state of mind, but fuck, I just want to talk to her I just want to see how she’s doing

My drunken brain in charge, I hit the text box and start to type out a e

How are you?

How in the fuck do you think she is?
