I took a deep breath. “He was the one I hit with my car.”

My sister burst into a fit of laughter. “Are you serious? That’s hysterical.”

“Yeah,” I laughed nervously. “Hysterical. Um, there’s more, though.”

“What is it?”

“Dylan and I… kind of hit it off? I realize I probably should have run it by you first, but —again— totally slipped my mind.” I held my breath, the pause on the other end of the line deafening. “Are you mad?”

Winona snorted. “What are we? Teenagers? Julia, we haven’t been a thing in ten years. And might I remind you that I’m happily married with a family of my own?”

“So you’re not mad?”

“No, you big dummy. God, for someone with a brain, you’re really dumb sometimes. I think it’s great.”

“You do?” I exhaled. “Thank you, Winona. We really hit it off.”

“I’m glad to hear it. I can’t remember the last time you slowed down and took the time to see someone.” Somewhere in the background of the call, I heard one of her kids starting to cry. “Oh, shoot. Someone’s just woken up from their nap. I have to go, sis, but you better call me later. None of this ‘no cell reception’ BS again. You know how I worry.”

I smiled. “I know. I’ll let you go. Give the little ones my love.”

I hung up just as Dylan returned with a small slice of cake. He set it down in front of me with a wink. “I saw you eyeing it when you were in the line before. Thought I’d grab you the last slice.”

“I don’t know if I have any room left to finish it by myself. Split it with me?”

He magically produced two small spoons from behind his back.

I felt giddy all day long.
