There are so many more things I want to say, but it all feels too soon. Too complicated. Too uncertain. I know Nick likes me. I even think he’d eventually be open to dating more seriously if I lived here. But there’s a big jump between that and planning a life with someone who lives a thousand miles away. Forcing down all the worry and impending heartbreak, I smile at him. “One last boat ride?” “Anything you want, Red.”
