“I’d bet on the former, if I had to guess. Things are bound to blow up soon. Especially since we’re all going to be living together again come August.”
Things with the Prospect Street house are in total limbo. Of course, Scott, Amelie, Bevan, and I are solid in that we will be living there. Clearly, Gannon is coming back to school, but I’m not sure Amelie is going to allow him to live with us. That charmer with a TV personality is trying everything in his power to get her to talk to him, to find out why she’s mad, but she’s been avoiding him like the plague. They are both in Webton for the summer, and Am told me he was waiting outside of her house twice a week. At some point, she’s going to have to come clean, and he’s going to have to wise up.
Then there is Callum. He is definitely on the outs, there is no way he can live there. He and Bevan are done, officially. There is no giving it the summer. Because she saw him with another girl. In all the times they broke up, he never dared talk to, date, or worse, kiss a girl. Then Bev saw him at the mall laughing with some girl in the food court, and she lost it. She ended up burning half the gifts he’d given her over their time together, and I’d been the one to go over there before I left and hold her as she sobbed until she passed out. Every time I looked at her, it was like her soul was ripping in two. I have no idea how they’ll overcome this.
But I can’t worry about all that right now. That’s for next semester, and this is summer. I have dates out in the city to look forward to, nights with Austin cuddled up listening to the sounds of people and sirens and the noise of life. I have six weeks of my dream job that will hopefully lead to so much more.
If you had told me six years ago, hell, two months ago, that I’d be in love and living in a New York City apartment with Austin Van Hewitt, I would have laughed in your face.
But here we are.
I’m more than certain that we’ll make it. That in two years’ time, I will graduate and move here so we can begin our next chapter together.
After all, you never forget your first love.
Apparently, I don’t have to. I get to be in love with the first guy whose name I wrote next to Mrs. in my high school notebook.
Maybe someday, he’ll even ask me to take that last name forever.

About the Author
Author of romance novels such as The Tenth Girl and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code, much better.
When she isn't writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She’s a Jersey girl living in Texas with her husband, daughter, son and Great Dane/Lab rescue.
Please join her readers group, Carrie’s Charmers, to get the latest on new books, as well as talk about reality TV, wine and home decor.
