We walked the rest of the way like a human chain, linked together at the elbows. Facing my past on my own terrified me, but I was blessed to be doing this with such good friends.
“I think this is as far as we can go before they kick us out.” Farrow stopped in front of the low steps leading to the main door. “We don’t have keycards.”
“Keycards?” Dallas’s brows knitted together, dripping with outrage. “We’ve got charm. We don’t need keycards.”
Sure enough, a flirt at the front desk later, we headed to my old dorm room. My heart somersaulted, ready to plunge out of my chest.
Crashing weddings at Miller Chapel.
Trying and failing to kayak at the marina.
Bowling at the student center.
The memories flooded back to me at an alarming speed. I kept my eyes trained onto the squeaky floors, determined to fight the headache.
We rounded the corridor toward my old room.
I ran into Fae’s back.
Dallas released a gasp. Farrow grunted. Hettiewomp, womp, womped.
“What’s he doing here?” Fae hissed, annoyed.
My head shot up. I followed their line of sight, right to the man standing outside the door of my old dorm room.
My fiancé – looking fifty shades of pissed off.

Romeo Costa:Luca wearing his first cowboy hat.
Zach Sun:Holy shit, that is a cute baby that does not at all look like a potato with a diaper and an attitude.
Zach Sun:(Am I doing this right?)
Ollie vB:Uncanny. You sound like a completely authentic human. Is that a new ChatGPT update you’re testing?
Zach Sun:Yes.
Ollie vB:It’s not working.
Romeo Costa:I concur. Straight to the dumpster fire.
Ollie vB:@RomeoCosta, I didn’t know you guys were in Texas.
Romeo Costa:We aren’t. Dallas and Farrow took Briar to check out her old college.
Ollie vB:???
Romeo Costa:They’re trying to see if walking around Baylor will bring back memories.
Ollie vB:But I was just on the phone with Briar. She was eating beignets.
Romeo Costa:In New Orleans.
