seen you together. There’s nothing you can’t do if you stay honest and open.”
    I sighed and picked at the hem of my shirt. “You’re right. I’ve never felt like this and I don’t know how to handle it. But there’s no choice. I love him and I always will. We just have to figure things out together.”
    “You got it.”
    “Thank you, Beth. Once again you’re helping me so much.”
    “You don’t need to thank me. Just…keep in touch this time, okay?”
    “Of course. I’m starting school in the fall, but if you’re ever nearby we should do something.”
    “I’d love that,” she said, smiling. “And look, if you and Joe decided to leave your room again, call me. We can have dinner.”
    “That would be wonderful. I know he’d like to see you.” We exchanged information and hugged once more.
    “Okay. I need to get back to my laundry and you need to get back to your man.”
    Hunger and hurt forgotten, I nodded. “Talk to you soon, right?”
    “You got it. Hey, I’ll get you a signed CD from Rob.”
    “Awesome.” I left her, feeling like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I didn't know why hearing about her "relationship" had allowed me to let go of the stupid drama I'd created in my own, but it didn't matter. I was back on track and didn't want to waste another second.

    By the time I got back to the hotel I was practically running. In the suite I expected to find that Joe was off doing whatever work Ryan needed, but he wasn’t. He was sitting on the bed, looking terrible. Well, as terrible as he was capable.
    “Liss, where have you been?”
    “It doesn’t matter I’m here now. And I’m so sorry.”
    “I hate it when you run from me. I thought you might never come back.”
    “You’re amazing. And wonderful. And I’m chickenshit.”
    Joe guffawed. “What?”
    “You terrify me. How much you love me and how much I love you. But I can’t get over that by running away. You deserve better. And so do I.”
    He rose from the bed and swept me into his arms.
    “Listen,” I continued. “I can’t promise I won’t get scared again. The bigger all of this gets, the more it worries me. But I want to be with you. I’m excited about this weekend and to go to Europe with you. I don’t have the words to tell you what you mean to me. But just know that you mean the world to me and I never want us to be apart. Trust in that.”
    “I do,” he whispered. “Always.” And then he kissed me and everything else fell away. I gave in to what my heart knew, ignoring my fears, and let him love me.
