Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: “You’re quiet. What’s wrong?” Bree glances at me and back to the windshield as she stops with a jerk in our parking space. “Just tired.” I pull the handle and push my shoulder against the door. Heaving my pack to my shoulders, I meet her in front of the car. She hooks an arm in mine as we walk to the apartment building entrance. “I usually can’t shut you up. Talk to me. What’s going on?” “I miss Adam. It’s been a month since we’ve seen each other. I don’t know if I can do this anymore.” “What do you mean? Stay here or stay with him?” “I love him, and we’re miserable apart. But we’ve got two more years of school.” “Only two more weeks till summer break.” She skips ahead of me and presses the elevator button. “Let’s do a girls’ movie night. We’ll order pizza and eat popcorn.” We evaluate movie and takeout options on the elevator ride. She complains that I always want to watch Titanic, and I veto her hamburger dive restaurant choice. Reaching our floor, we wind through the maze of halls. As I make the last turn, I stop short. Sweeping his bangs from in front of his blue eyes, he stands. “Adam?” “It’s about time!” Crossing to me, he picks me up and twirls me around. I step out of his embrace. “What are you doing here?” He slides a page from his back pocket and holds it out to me. “I just picked up this.” I take the sheet and unfold it. Adam Stephen Hamilton Schedule for Fall Semester, the top reads. “You’re going to school here?” My mouth hangs open. “I hope that’s okay!” “Of course. It’s amazing!” “Well, in that case, I have something else.” He drops to one knee and slides a box from his pocket. “Chloe Hahn Pham, will you marry me?” I look to Bree, who shrugs, and then back to him, barely able to process what is happening. My breath catches in my throat. “I—” His eyebrows shoot up. “I’m sorry. You know I’m not great with stuff like this. Maybe I should have made a sign or had music, or something. If this is too soon—” “No. I was going to say I love you. Yes. It’s perfect!” ![]()
