“What?” I blinked and stared at her “Julie, what are you talking about? What happened?”

“What happened?” Julie scoffed “As if you don’t know”

“I thought everything was fine,” I said quickly “Last time I was here, you kissed me and said we could make this work You said ouldn’t let Josh come between us and now—”

“That was before,” Julie interrupted She crossed her arms over her chest and turned away from me

I still didn’t knoas going on I watched Julie as she stared into her kitchen, looking anywhere but at ht and walked slowly over to her I was scared to touch her, but I knew I had to try I couldn’t just leave without understanding what had upset her so much

Gently, I ran ers down her arms

“Julie…”

She jerked away frolare at me I immediately held up my hands and took a step backward

Touching her was obviously a mistake Her pale blue eyes, usually so soft and kind, flashed with rage

“Don’t touch rowled

“Okay,” I said, losing my patience now “What the hell happened?”

“I had dinner with Joshua,” Julie said

When the words left her mouth, my heart stopped My worst fears had been realized She went to dinner with Josh She still cared about hiether

“You had dinner with him?” I asked “Why?”

“He texted me,” Julie said simply “Said he wanted to meet up and talk”
