Lena didn't say anything at first, just buried her face in the crook of my neck.

I stroked her hair, teasing, "Missing Nate already, huh? It hurts, doesn't it?"

"It's worse than when I was just crushing on him," she sighed dramatically.

"Well, duh! You just got a taste of what you've been wanting for, like, forever, and now you're left hangi Of course it stings," I said, nudging her with a playful grin. Lena flashed a bold grin. "Who says I have to wait? I could hop on a plane and be with him whenever I want."

That reminded me of their convo from last night. "Wait, are you seriously thinking about it?"

She sat up on the couch, tucking her legs under her. "I don't know yet."

Which meant she was seriously considering it. I mean, who wouldn't? After years of secretly crushing o Nate, she finally got him, and now he's miles away.

"Take your time," I said, giving her a playful nudge. "But come on, spill. How was last night?"

Lena poked me in the arm. "Didn't you say what I have, you have too? What's there to be curious about? "Um, everything!" I grinned, leaning in.
