rumor do you have planned?”
She laughed. “I’m not sure. I’ll call you.”
He nodded, but made no move to finish dressing. He sat with his elbows on his knees, staring at the flame of a candle on the coffee table. “Do you think this is going to work?” he asked after a moment.
“What do you mean?”
He glanced at her. “Us, getting together like this? Is it really going to make you feel better about what happened in high school?”
She nodded. “I think it will. For so many years, I’ve felt like I should have stayed and faced all their lies. It’s too late to change anyone’s mind now, but by doing this, we’re turning their lies into truth.” She looked at him. “Does that make sense?”
He nodded. “Sort of.” He grinned. “I guess the way I look at it—they all thought we were having so much fun back then, we might as well enjoy ourselves now.”
She grinned back at him. “We’re going to have fun.”
He turned and pulled her to him once more. “Yeah. I think we are.”
He held her close and kissed her cheek, a sweet gesture that made her heart skip a beat. She buried her face against his shoulder and closed her eyes, breathing in the scents of soap and sex. It wouldn’t be fun if she made a mistake and lost her heart to him. Their time together was supposed to be pure fantasy and everybody knew fantasies—like rumors—were usually very different from the way things really were.
