TAMSIN

For a moment it felt as if time itself had stopped, as if the universe was playing a cosmic joke on me and had picked the worst possible timing to deliver the punchline. No, there was no way I was laughing at this.

I took another step back, my pulse racing, memories rushing in like uncontrollable torrents. Memories I had buried. Memories I had spent years trying to forget.

I shook my head. No. I had successfully buried them. I could not let them define me. I would not let them define

    TAMSIN "What? You had sex with James?" Poppy almost spat out the water in her mouth. We had barely sat down and ordered drinks when I told her what had happened. "Come on, keep your voice down," I hissed, looking around to make sure no one was listening. "I will tell you what happened, okay? I do not even know. I think maybe it was the alcohol." "Okay, but did you enjoy it? Was it fun?" Poppy asked with the bluntness of a true friend. "No. I mean, come on, Poppy, it is not about that. I am just going crazy. What do I do?" Poppy sighed and reached across the table to take my hand. "I am going to tell you the truth," she said. "Both James and Leo have hurt you. If you ask for my opinion, you do not need either of them. I know I believe in second chances, but I feel like there is a way someone can hurt you that they do not deserve to come back into your life." "I feel the same way too," I said. "But Hannah, my sister, she is in James's house." "So?" Poppy asked. "Can't

    TAMSIN I pushed James away with more force than I intended, breaking the kiss so abruptly he stumbled backward half a step. "James, please leave," I said, my voice coming out sharper than the champagne buzz could entirely explain. "Come on, Tamsin." He moved closer again, undeterred by my rejection. "You know what is in my heart, do you not? You know how I feel about you. Why are you being this way?" And then he started. The flowery words. The sweet nothings. The declarations of undying devotion delivered in that smooth, practiced tone that had once made my heart flutter and now just made me feel queasy. I stood there staring at him, still slightly dizzy from the alcohol, wondering how I had arrived at this particular moment in my life. James moved closer and kissed me again. I was about to push him away when he pulled back on his own, his hands coming up to frame my face with a gentleness that felt almost genuine. "Give me a chance, Tamsin," he said softly. "Please. I am beg

    TAMSIN I shook my head, feeling the walls closing in around me, the scent of roses suddenly cloying and overwhelming. "I feel suffocated," I said, stepping away, toward the door. "I need to leave. I need air." "Tamsin, please," James called after me. "Please, just think about it. That is all I am asking." But I was already running. Down the hallway, into my room where I slammed the door and locked it behind me. I threw myself onto the bed and let the tears come, sobbing into my pillow until my throat was raw and my eyes burned and I finally fell into an exhausted, dreamless sleep. Morning came too early and too bright. I did not want to get out of bed. Did not want to face another day of impossible choices and emotional manipulation and the constant weight of everyone's expectations. My phone rang, and I considered ignoring it. But it might be Hannah. It might be important. I picked it up and saw Poppy's name on the screen. "Hello," I answered, my voice still rough from c

    TAMSIN The rest of the picnic passed in a haze of forced smiles and hollow pleasantries. I sat on that blanket, watching the waves roll in with their eternal rhythm, listening to James tell stories designed to make Hannah laugh, and felt as though I were observing the scene from somewhere far away. Hannah's words kept circling through my mind like vultures over carrion. Good men like James are hard to find. Appreciate what you have before you lose it. Do not let your marriage be ruined by outsiders. Each sentiment perfectly calculated to make me feel guilty for wanting something other than what I had been given. I kept checking my phone, though I could not have said what I was hoping to find there. Leo had stopped calling. Stopped texting. I had made it abundantly clear that I wanted nothing to do with him, and apparently he had finally listened. Which was good. Which was what I wanted. So why did the silence feel like another loss piled on top of all the others? "Tamsin?

    LEO I woke to the sensation of warmth beside me. Not the comforting warmth of blankets or sunlight streaming through windows, but the specific, unmistakable heat of another human body pressed against mine. My eyes opened slowly, my mind still foggy with whatever had dragged me under the night before. The ceiling above me was familiar. That registered first, a discordant note that pulled me more fully into consciousness. I turned my head and felt my entire body go rigid with shock. Evelyn lay beside me, her dark hair spread across the pillow, her breathing deep and even with sleep. And she was naked. I looked down at myself and felt ice flood my veins. I was naked too. "What the hell?" I sat up so quickly the room spun, my hands immediately checking, confirming what my eyes had already told me. No clothes. None at all. Evelyn stirred at the movement, her eyes fluttering open with the slow confusion of someone pulled from deep sleep. She looked at me. Looke

    LEO "So tell me," Evelyn pressed, leaning forward with undisguised curiosity. "What happened? The situation with Tamsin is still complicated, is it not? She is still married. Still living in James's house. What changed?" I took another sip of wine, letting the warmth spread through my chest. "You are right that the situation is complicated," I admitted. "More complicated than I realized, actually. But I am certain now that Tamsin loves me. Really loves me. And that is the best realization of my life at this point in time." Evelyn studied me for a long moment, and I saw confusion flicker across her face. "I do not understand," she said finally. "You left her in the past, right? Disappeared from her life without explanation. And she married someone else, built a whole new life without you. Every other woman who experienced that would hate you. Would want nothing to do with you. Why would a beautiful, amazing woman like Tamsin forgive someone who hurt her so much?" The questio
