“Caleb, what are we turning in?”
“He has you off in dreamland, huh?”
“Who?”
He nods toward the phone gripped tightly in my hand. “Whoever has had you smiling for the last ten minutes of class.”
“Is that weird for you?” I ask as I follow him down the stairs and out into the hall.
“Nah.” He lifts a shoulder. “We’re not together anymore. If you’re happy, I’m happy for you, D.”
“We’re not dating, if that’s what you’re thinking.”
“I wasn’t, but that’s nice to know.”
“But…”
He smirks when I don’t continue. “Spit it out, woman.”
“But!” I say loudly. “Would it be weird if I was dating someone?”
“I told you, Delia, I’m happy for you if you’re happy.”
I stop walking and it takes a moment for Caleb to notice I’m not next to him.
“D?”
“You’re a damn unicorn, Caleb.”
“Okaaaay…” He draws the word out, his brows pinched together.
“You’re my ex-boyfriend—my newly ex-boyfriend. How can you be so chill about this? How are you so…nice about this?”
“Am I supposed to be mean?”
“I…” I clasp my hands, trying to rub away the anxious feeling washing over me. “Well, no. I guess not. It’s just most guys wouldn’t be so chill about their ex maybe hitting it off with a new guy so soon after a breakup.” Not that I think I’m hitting it off with this mysterious Zach guy, but still.
He winks. “Unicorn, remember?”
Laughing, I roll my eyes and resume strolling along. “How did I ever let you go?”
“Who knows, especially with my huge co—”
I slap my hand over his mouth. “CALEB!”
He peels it away, grinning like he’s the king of the world. “What? I was going to say comic book collection.”
I roll over at the sound of my phone going off. Glancing at the bedside clock, I note it’s after eleven. What the… I have no idea who could be texting me because most of the people I know would be asleep by now, especially on a Monday night.
I swipe open my screen and a smile overtakes my face in an instant.
Zach: Why is it I’ve spent the last twenty minutes trying to fall asleep and I can’t because all I can think about is you?
Me: Are you trying to start a sexting convo?
Zach: What? No!
Zach: Shit. That did come out creepy, huh?
Me: See? I told you you’re a creeper.
Zach: Cat’s out of the bag now…
Me: Why are you thinking about me?
Zach: I suppose I could have been more specific. All I can think about is how you’ve potentially cost me a client. I won’t know until Thursday.
Me: IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! If anything, it was your roommate’s fault. Blame him!
Zach: I already did. Would have anyway. I coerced him into buying me beer to go with my leftover pizza.
Me: There’s such a thing as leftover pizza?
Zach: Are you trying to make me fall in love with you, Delia?
Me: Depends on if it’s working or not.
Zach: Smooth.
Me: Good night, Zach.
Zach: Sweet dreams, Delia.

Acknowledgments
I won’t lie, it’s becoming harder to write these as I continue my career. Not because I’m not thankful for the people on my Team, but because I’m so blessed to have the same people on my Team, and I tell them how much they rock daily.
The Marine, you’re my favorite first husband. I can’t imagine doing this without you.
Mom, you’re always there. Thank you for everything.
Laurie, I’m pretty sure I would have failed at this author gig years ago if it wasn’t for you. I owe you so many awkward hugs.
Kristann, my soulmate. It’s crazy to think there was ever a day where we didn’t Polo each other, isn’t it? I love you.
Caitlin, my editor and word fixer person (totally real title), THANK YOU. I feel so lucky to have found you. You make me better with each passing book, and I’m so glad to have you in my corner.
Julie Griffis and Judy, thank you for being the final eyes on this beast. You’re the real MVPs here.
Allie, for always making my ebooks and paperbacks look pretty and fitting me into your schedule at the last minute.
Of course, my Tidbits. You’re all so amazing, especially when you’re being smartasses. You’ve supported me and my crazy ideas and mistakes all through the years. I love you for it more than I could ever explain. THANK YOU.
And finally…to you, Reader. Thank you for allowing me to make you laugh for a few hours. I hope you enjoyed the Slice gang. It’s going to be sad letting them go, but I’m excited to see what’s next for me.
With love and unwavering gratitude,
Teagan
