“Even though.”
“One of these days, I’m going to have a big clawfoot tub and take the most divine baths in it. I’ll sprinkle essential oils in the water, scatter flower petals, and have a candelabra in the bathroom, with all the candles lit and music playing.”
“One of these days, huh?”
“Yes.”
I kissed Rhys goodbye and then watched him back out of my driveway. He stopped on the street, rolled down his driver-side window, and gave me heart-hands. I smiled and waved at him, and he drove off, heading back to our hometown where I wished I was going.

“LOOK AT YOU!” Jacinda said when I walked into the dental office.
“What about me?”
“You’re still floating around because of Rhys.”
“He is so wonderful.”
“Did he get your locks changed?”
“Yep. He also mowed my lawn and took me to Razzoo’s.”
“Nice!”
“Guess who showed up while we were eating.”
Jacinda shrugged. “Who?”
“Chad and his parents.”
“Oh boy. What’d you and Rhys do?”
“Enjoyed our meals the best we could.”
“Did Chad and the Nolans say anything to y’all?”
“Only Chad did after we left. He came up to us in the parking lot and congratulated Rhys for being able to steal me away from him,” I said, rolling my eyes.
“What did Rhys say?”
“He told him that I’d always been his.”
“It’s the truth.”
“And it hurt Chad. I saw it in his eyes.”
“He asked for it, though, coming up to you and Rhys like that.”
“I know. I hope it’s the last time we’ll ever deal with him. I was going to get my clothes and stuff from his house, but I’m not worried about doing that anymore.”
“The price of peace.”
“Exactly. I intended to return my engagement ring to him, but he told me to keep it in an earlier text. I don’t want to, though.”
“Have it made into a different piece of jewelry or sell it.”
