Which was especially ironic considering the fact Collin spent most of the day glued to her side. Smiling, talking, even cracking jokes, apparently, based on the laughter I kept hearing from her. “Don’t forget you have a girlfriend,” I muttered to him at one point. “Oh—do you not like me flirting with yours?” His grin was just begging to be knocked off his face. Winnie came around the corner at that point, which is the only reason the two of us didn’t end up in a scuffle. When he and Chase finally drive back to Austin, I couldn’t be more thrilled.
