I Stopped Orbiting Her
At my best friend Grady's wedding, the bouquet landed right in my arms.
Grady slid over, eyebrows bouncing. "Do you know how hard I worked to get Amanda as a bridesmaid? Dude, you've been into her for seven years. Go confess already."
I froze, bouquet in hand.
The thing Grady didn't know?
Amanda Sheffield and I had been secretly dating for a year.
I'd thought my years of pining had finally paid off.
Then I told her we were done unless she bailed on the date her family set up.
She just smiled, totally unbothered. "Ryder Reed, you've loved me for seven years. You really think you can walk away?"
The memory cut out.
Then Amanda came over, yanked the bouquet from my hands, and handed it to the guy beside her like it was nothing.
She took one look at my face and lifted a brow, smug as hell.
"See? You can't leave me."
