Aida got in the passenger’s seat and shut her door. “Are you okay?” No. The girl next door who I’m not supposed to have feelings for just saw me with another woman, which shouldn’t matter because I didn’t kiss her for a reason. But now I feel like garbage about all of it. “Yeah.” “Are you sure? If you don’t want to give me a ride, I can—” “It’s fine.” I turned on the engine and backed down the driveway. “Sorry if I came on too strong. I just like to be up front with people. I’m only staying for another few weeks, so obviously I’m not interested in anything serious.”
