And people think you aren’t a sweet girl.??
Coco
Ha!
Seriously—you don’t actually think she was using you??
Jamie
What am I supposed to think?
Coco
That she loves you.
That this was a misunderstanding.
That if you let her explain, you can go back to being disgustingly happy
and sappy in love.
He shook his head. He wasn’t sure. Yes, after a little space, he figured Rachel hadn’t actually used him, but there was the matter of her hesitation when he asked if she was still going to take the promotion. It concerned him that she didn’t speak up when she had the chance. It wasn’t the first time either. It didn’t matter what her intention was if she was going to sell herself short over and over again.
It was easy in his mind: they weren’t on the same page. He’d been on the path, and she’d been standing to the side, a spectator.
Jamie
You’ve been listening to Didier.
Coco
He has a sexy voice.
Jamie
TMI.
He winced, reminded of Rachel’s firm.
Jamie
I’ll think about it.
Coco
Since when do you think?
You’re a man of action.
So act.
