Alexandra
I haven't been home in ten years.
Ten years of dodging holidays, screening my mother's calls, and building a life six hours away from the boy who kissed me in front of our entire school.
I cannot forget the kiss. Or the embarrassment.
Now my mother's remarried … to his father.
Merry Christmas to me.
* * *
Three nights. One house. My childhood bedroom.
And Jonathan Wright—academic rival, ex-almost-something, professional ruiner of my life.
I hate him.
Sleeping in my room. Right there. On my floor. Because every other room is taken by relatives I dislike even more than him.
Yes, I really, really hate that the boy I've spent a decade avoiding is now only six feet away in the dark, and the only thing thinner than the mattress between us is the lie I've been telling myself about being over him.
I hate that as hard as I try, I just cannot hate him as much as I should.
My cheeks burn. My eyes close.
* * *
This Christmas will be one to remember.
