“You do realise you just cock-blocked me?”
I shake my head, but a sheepish smile sneaks across my face before I can stop it. “I’m sorry.”
“Not sure I believe you, Lainey.”
“I am. I know I probably shouldn’t have come over and interrupted things, but it’s been a few months since we’ve spoken and...”
“And what?”
I don’t want to tell him I’ve missed him. It seems like too much.
“And we used to hang out every week,” I say instead. “I always liked talking to you, and sitting over there with Cass’s friends just made me appreciate how effortless conversation can be with you.”
He signals for the bartender to come over to us. “You need to talk, and I need to drink now that sex is off the table.”
When the bartender comes over, Ben asks for a Scotch Lager and I ask for another white wine.
As soon as our drinks are served, Ben raises his bottle and I touch it with my glass.
“You want to talk, Lainey, so talk.”
It’s all the invitation I need.
