You got it :)
Dallas
Are you gonna ask me about my allergies?
Me
I already know that you don’t have any
I also knew all the foods he loved. Knew what kind of fabrics he liked. Knew his favorite T-shirt had been patched up a couple times with black thread because he kept ripping holes into it.
I knew his favorite color was bright orange.
I’d never trusted the fact that he said orange was his favorite color. What kind of favorite color was that? He was the only person I’d ever met in my entire life who’d ever answered with that color.
Fuck, they’d both said yes.
My heart raced as I reread our texts again.
I’d really expected them to say no.
Me
See you later!
I blew out a low scream that sounded like a train whistle going off and tossed my phone on the counter.
God, I’d really done that.
There was no going back now. Unless I chickened out and came up with some sort of excuse and then pretended I’d never sent that text to begin with.
I was going to start hyperventilating. It was silly how nervous this made me. Maybe it was because I was talking to Dallas too.
Both of them.
I needed to talk to Avery still. She knew Madi was interested in her brother, but there’d never been a question of whether or not I was. Dallas had never been on my radar that way aside from the couple random fantasies I’d had when I was younger.
But I wouldn’t count those.
The New Year’s Eve kiss, however?
I should have told Evie and Avery about that after it happened. Eventually I’d have to come clean.
I picked up my phone again and switched to my chat with Evie.

So . . .
I slept with Madi last night.
She has a date with Dallas tonight.
But I just texted Dallas and Madi and asked them over for dinner instead of having their date . . .
Evie
