Maya flings the pillow right back at me, knocking my piece of toast right out of my hand. “A wise man once said to me, ‘If a guy is worthy of you, he’ll put in the work. He’ll make it clear what he wants, and he’ll go after it. And he won’t let anything stop him until he gets it.’ The words spin around in my head. They sound familiar. “Wait—didn’t I say that?” Maya rolls her eyes. “I said a wise man. That’s not you. You’re being a dumbass right now.”
