Set on You (The Influencer #1)

by Amy Lea

“Okay. I get it. But can I just ask, how long ’til it’s no longer a rebound?” I glance at the midnight sky for answers, but end up toppling to the side, straight into Scott’s chest. His grip tightens. “I don’t know? At least three months.” I haven’t the faintest clue where three months came from. It has no historic relevance in the deep recesses of my mind. It’s completely arbitrary. He nods in consideration. “Three months from the date I broke up with Diana, huh? That takes us to exactly August sixth. The day of our grandparents’ wedding. Will you at least consider a date then? We could take it really slow. To be really sure.” I light up like a Christmas tree. Heat courses through my body as I fight to suppress my toothy smile. It gives me hope that he’s serious. Serious enough to wait for me. “You’d really wait that long?” I ask. “I mean, I wouldn’t blame you if you got bored and stuck your fingers in a few more pies.” He doesn’t laugh at my shitty joke. In fact, his expression is so pure and earnest I’m reduced to a quivering specimen in the middle of the sidewalk. “Crystal, I won’t.” He pauses and digs his phone out of his pocket. “I’m setting the date in my calendar. August sixth. Get ready for it.”
