I was impatiently waiting for Saturday. I was alone because all my roommates had gone home for the weekend. Brian and I had planned everything so that everyone would arrive at his place an hour before Jenny, but I was the first to get there. Brian had already invited me over for lunch.

“So it’s true after all,” Mayoko laughed as she hugged me when I walked in. There was no trace of the distance she had kept at the beginning of the

    I didn’t move, kept my shoes on, and simply gestured to Daniel with a nod.“Jay,” Dany stepped closer. “Did you come to see Uncle Steve?”“Actually, I came for you,” I said, nodding toward the door.Daniel nodded toward the door, slipping on a pair of slippers before following me outside, curiosity in his eyes.“I talked to Iris yesterday,” I got straight to the point. “What happened between you two?”“So you noticed too,” he sighed.“Who else?”“Dadam, but he keeps quiet,” he said, stepping onto the street and leaning against a tree. “My family had already moved here, but I was still living there. We met by chance, and over time, I completely fell for her. She told me about her past, but I didn’t care. I mean, who doesn’t have one?” he explained. “We had already planned to move in together when she said

    The next day, when I got home from Uncle Steve’s, Jenny was already at our place with Amber. She greeted me with a kiss on the cheek before we sat down to eat.“How was your night, Messy?” she asked cheerfully.“Good,” I said. “I went to Brian’s after leaving you. Played some games. Won.”“Messyhair,” she raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”“Sure,” I said quickly. Dad sighed.“Can we talk in the hallway?” she asked calmly.“You can scold him here,” Amber chimed in. Jenny glanced at my parents and sighed.“Messyhair,” she smiled, “do you want to change your answer?”“I was with Iris,” I admitted. “I didn’t want you to get jealous.”Jenny laughed.“She was already in the taxi when I was on my way to the hotel, and Paul called me to tell me you had coff

    “You never wanted to be her role model?” Paul asked.“No,” Iris said. “She was too kind and dreamy for that, and she never cared about money. She’s naturally good at reading people, but I taught her how to understand men and a few tricks,” she glanced at me, “and I made her promise not to fall for superficial charm.”“She definitely didn’t,” I laughed. “You basically looked out for her, just like Paul did?”“I tried,” she said cheerfully. “I know she fought with her mom a lot because of me—that she was even forbidden from seeing me, and we had to sneak around to watch movies. I tried to repay her by making sure she never ended up with a life like mine, and that no one took advantage of her.”“How much do you know about us, her friends?” I asked.“From her first letter, I knew I’d be reading a lot about you,&rdquo

    “You’re okay with your role at the wedding, right?” Jenny asked once we were in the car.“Of course, thanks for taking me. Who’s my partner for the day?” Iris asked cheerfully as she settled into the back seat.“I’ll introduce you at dinner tonight. Paul, my friend.”“Iris,” I asked from behind the wheel, “why did you come alone?”“My partner is traveling for work this month.”“How long have you been with him?” I emphasized the word “him.”“Jay,” Jenny said firmly.“It’s fine, Jane,” Iris said. “Over a year.”I drove them to Uncle Steve’s place—the family was already waiting.Iris greeted everyone, shook hands, and introduced herself. Dr. Cox observed quietly, Mrs. Julie struggled to hide her dislike, and I could tell Daniel knew her, though he concealed i

    The days leading up to the wedding were similar—days at Uncle Steve’s, dinners either at my place or Jenny’s, and weekends spent either alone together or with friends.“When’s Iris arriving?” I asked Jenny while we sat at Tony’s burger place during our weekend date.“Midweek,” she said. “I invited Paul to dinner—want to join us at my parents’ place?”“Sure, I’d be eating there that day anyway.”People in the booths always watched us curiously, but by now, we were used to it.“Babe,” I said as we stepped outside, “would you like to go boating?” I gestured toward the park.“I would,” she said, smiling curiously.Hand in hand, we walked to the lake, where I rented a boat and rowed us out.The lake was circular, filled with water lilies and fish. It was well-maintained, though I couldn’t see the

    The next day, we planned to spend the day at the beach. We settled into our usual spot, but this time, we weren’t expecting our friends—supposedly, no one else was coming. We exchanged waves with a few familiar faces but didn’t join anyone.I had already rented an umbrella beforehand—Jenny had taught me to be mindful of these things.Being the weekend, the beach was crowded, though there was still space for us.“Paul will be in Japan for more than a year,” Jenny mentioned later in the day, rubbing sunscreen onto my skin after our swim. She was clearly going to miss her friend.“Babe,” I asked gently, “Did you miss me that much too?”“No, Messyhair,” she said, sitting next to me, “I missed you even more. That’s why I spent all my free time in the gym—I needed to be exhausted enough not to think about you,” she admitted calmly.“You’ve n

    The other girls came out of the tents, drawing the guys’ attention away.“Jay,”Jenny said quietly in Italian,”you don’t have the right to be jealous. We’re just friends. I imagine it’s not any easier for you

    “How did Jenny handle New Year’s Eve at your place?”I asked suddenly.“She called me after midnight,”Paul said, sitting on the edge of the bed.“Said she wanted to co

    The next morning, I woke up early again. I went down to the newly renovated pool for a swim and made it back home in time for breakfast. Dad was already downstairs, and Mom joined us soon after in the kitchen.“Good morning, sweetheart,” Mom said. ”Looks like you’re getting back in shape.”“Jenny c

    “Helen is actually Harper,” I began. She tried to speak, but I raised my finger again. ”And she was never really my girlfriend. I tried everything to bring back the old Jay, but after I half-kissed Harper in an elevator, I pulled away. I felt guilty. It didn’t feel right.”“Excuse me?” she asked, c
