Bab 37: Chapter 37

I stretched out on my stomach in front of him, resting my chin on his chest. He looked down at me and stroked my hair.

“Do you miss him?” I asked.

“No.”

“Really?”

“That was a long time ago.”

“Aren’t you curious to know what happened to him?”

I expected Paul to tell me he didn’t care what his ex was up to, but he surprised me by saying, “I know exactly where Dale is and what he’s doing. I’ve always known.”

Shit. What was that about? Paul claimed he didn’t miss the guy who broke his heart more than twenty years ago, but he still kept tabs on him? I wondered if he was stalking Dale. He didn’t strike me as the kind of person who’d be obsessive about anyone, but maybe there was a level of craziness lurking beneath his coolness. Or maybe he’d just been more in love with Dale than he cared to admit.

“Have you ever reached out to him?”

“No. That door of my life is closed and I don’t see it ever opening again.”
