Across The Ice: Falling for my ex’s biggest rival
“I’m serious. I don’t think I’m ready to be someone’s girlfriend again. I was with Mason for two years, Dean. Everything after him has been a public execution with hashtags. I like you, but I don’t know if I like you enough to want a commitment.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I could see you with another girl right now, smiling, flirting, being all lovey dovey, and I genuinely wouldn’t give a shit.”
“So if I start dating someone else, you wouldn’t care?”
I stared at him.
Dean waited a moment before saying, “I’m single, aren’t I? You said you don’t like me enough for a commitment, didn’t you?”
“Dean.”
“What?”
“Don’t try it.”
His smile appeared immediately. “That’s what I thought.”
