When we’d est coaches in the world, I’d left my best friend because we needed to take it to the next level now or never But was this all even worth it? Bree was hurt, and I missed Sam, and orked so hard every day

Taking another loop around a block of houses, I orderedabout Sam Most people went away for university and didn’t live in the same place as their best friends anymore That was normal I shouldn’t miss him so much I shouldn’t think about him so much

I shouldn’t… Lots of things There were lots of things I shouldn’t do when it came to Sam

I took the stairs back up, breathing a bit heavier as I reached the tenth floor Bree still sat on the couch, the apartain As I took off my shoes, she asked, “Did you talk to Sam?”

“He’s the one who told ary He missed the start of the men so he could tell me first”

Bree chuckled, and I asked, “What?” as I gulped a glass of water and flopped onto the other side of the couch

“Our Olyet that look on your face”

I huffed I kneasn’t that clueless—but still demanded, “What look?”

Her eyebrows shot up “Oh, you’re unaware? Let me explain”

Groaning, I shookAlways At least she see better after the broth

“Whenever Saoofiest, softest expression Your eyes go distant, like you’re i his pretty face, and there’s a tiny smile on your lips It’s a Sam smile I never see it for anyone else”

“That’s not true,” I muttered “You can barely see me” We were in the dark, after all

“I see you” She sat sideways and poked h with her toe “Also, I could be blindfolded and know you werevoice “Honestly, those are your only real smiles lately”

I shifted uncomfortably “That’s not true” Yeah, it had been tense and stressful this season after Bree’s concussion If I’d been quicker, it wouldn’t have happened at all I flashed her a perforh my teeth

She rolled her eyes We sat in silence for a bit before she asked, “Are you ever going to tell him?”

I jerked, staring at her “Tell him what?”
