My roommate Maggie was worried sick. She kept asking around for news about me, hoping someone had

heard something. When I finally got a chance to make a call, I dialed her first.

The moment she picked up, her voice came sharp with suspicion. “Savannah, be honest with me. What’s

going on between you and Callum? Why the hell is he asking me about you?”

Hearing that familiar name again stirred nothing in me. My voice was calm. “There’s nothing between us. Maybe he’s just curious.”

“Bullshit!” she snapped. “If there’s nothing going on, why would he keep bugging me for updates? Why would he insist I tell him if I ever got in touch with you? Listen to me, Savannah-we are not those kinds of people.

He has a wife and a kid now. Don’t be the reason a family falls apart.”

Apparently, when Callum reached out to her, he hadn’t mentioned our history.

Funny, really. Back when we were still together, I was the one who insisted on keeping our relationship private. He used to sulk over it, convinced it meant I didn’t take him seriously.

Now that he has every reason to reveal the truth, he keeps it hidden.

I steadied myself and went along with Maggie’s assumptions. “I know. That’s why I haven’t been in contact with him. And you shouldn’t bring him up again, either. Let’s just pretend he never existed.”

As for the divorce-once Eliza has the baby, even if he refuses to end the marriage, there’ll be nothing left to salvage. One way or another, we’ll be strangers soon enough.

Maggie thought that over, then gave a crisp, approving reply. “Fair enough. If he comes to me again asking about you, I won’t tell him a damn thing.”

Then she muttered under her breath, “Sometimes I really think he’s lost it. He has a wife, yet he’s still hung up on you like that. What does he take his wife for-air?”

I gave a soft laugh and muttered to myself, “Guess that makes me the fool.”

Time passed quickly.

Three months later, the ceasefire agreement was finally signed, and we were ordered to withdraw from the

war zone.

When I returned, Maggie was the first to drag me out for dinner. But the moment she saw me, her eyes went

red.

“Oh my God, Savannah, what happened to you?” she cried. “You weren’t exactly chubby before, but now you’re all bones and sunburn.”

She fussed over me the entire walk to the restaurant, promising to feed me until I looked human again.

What I didn’t expect, though, was the man waiting at our reserved table.

Maggie beamed with mischief. “This is Gabe-my brother. He just got back, too, so I figured we could all

catch up.”

She kept wiggling her eyebrows, not even trying to hide her intentions.

I gave her a tired smile, already resigned to the setup.

Before I could say anything, Gabe spoke first.

“We’ve met,” he said simply. “No need for introductions. Let’s order.”

Maggie gasped, clapping her hands in delight. “Well, that’s perfect! Means you’ll have plenty to talk about.”
