I can’t believe she’s forgiven me. After two years, it finally feels as if some of the weight I was carrying around on my shoulders has lifted.
But it’s still a little awkward. Since I only have two more days here, I asked Clara to Truth or Dare for lunch, wanting to speed up this process of being comfortable with each other so we can move back into our best-friends status.
Stopping by the library to pick her up, I find Unessa behind the desk.
Her lips press together when she looks up from what she’s doing and sees me. “Oh, Mr. Quarterback is back in town.”
“Hi, Unessa.” She’s a few years younger than me and I swear she plots my death a new way every time I see her. I don’t know if she’s party to what went down between Clara and me, or if she just hates me. “Is Clara here?”
She tucks
