Charley and I are crossing the basketball court to join today's meeting when the realization hits me: There aren't two open chairs for us. There's just one. Everyone looks up as we approach, including whoever is filling my usual seat. Holy shit. I turn to Charley wide-eyed. "I tried to tell you," he mutters under his breath. He then composes himself and smiles at our new member. "Kaitlyn, this is Wally. Sorry, he's not the most, uh, subtle guy, and it's a big event to meet someone new here." He's covering for me, because Charley damn well knows exactly what is going through my head, and it's not just surprise at seeing a new face. It's because it's HER. Kaitlyn Sands is here. Kaitlyn fucking Sands. The girl I've been trying so hard not to have a huge goddamn crush on. And she can finally see me.
