"Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't let him go."
I'm not sure why Jackie felt compelled to seek me out, but I'm grateful she did. "Thank you."
Even though a smile tips the corners of her lips, unhappiness shimmers around her. "You're welcome."
Before she can disappear around a bookshelf, I say, "Jackie."
This time, when she turns, one dark brow is raised. And I realize all over again how pretty she is, and how perfectly suited she and Cole are for each other. In my mind, I can imagine them together.
