I didn't know that, but it didn't surprise me. So Amy would make you a different sandwich and pack it herself.' Did you know that when our parents took you two to the beach as kids, Amy would make your sandwiches herself? Dad would always forget and make peanut butter and jelly for everyone. I forget you don't like peanut butter and jelly. You've been inseparable from the minute you met. 'This guy might be as great as you say, but you two have something special. Guilt twisted my stomach, and I swallowed.

'Are you really going to let this get between you and my sister?' 'Second,' Wesley said, drawing my attention back. I just knew that someone who found Amy attractive probably wouldn't be as interested in me. And it wasn't like I thought I was hideous or anything. I know it seems like it matters now - I used to think so, too - but it doesn't. 'Stop.' He glared at me, daring me to speak again. I had to tilt my head up to meet his eyes. Wesley stopped and put his gloved hand on my arm, turning me to face him. 'I've barely said anything,' I pointed out. 'From what you've said, it sounds like he might feel the same way about you.' Like what he was suggesting was the simplest thing in the world. 'You should tell him how you feel,' he said. I might have blushed if my face wasn't moments from becoming an ice cube. I've never heard you say something so heartfelt about anyone besides Amy.' 'That's shockingly sentimental coming from you. He gets me in a way a guy never has before. ' I smiled a little as a snowflake drifted down and landed on the tip of my nose. 'Please excuse me while I have horrifying middle school flash-backs triggered entirely by this conversation.'

Wesley thought about this for a long moment as we wove between the trees, our feet sinking deep into the snow. 'Well, here's where it starts, then, because he likes Amy.' I thought I hated him, but then I got to know him and he's not so bad. 'He's new in Hamilton, and he's kind of a tool. I ducked under a low-hanging tree branch, both to avoid his eyes and to save myself from getting smacked in the face. Which means lots of time for you to explain.'

'Seriously? A guy is what's coming between you two?' I shoved my hands deep into the pockets of my coat. I also knew that if I didn't tell him on this walk, he'd get Bianca in on helping him and I'd never escape.

Unfortunately, I knew he wasn't bluffing. 'That doesn't mean there's something wrong with me and Amy.' Amy might be the quiet type, but you are most definitely not.' Especially not with Wesley, who'd known both of us since we were toddlers. Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to playīut even I, convincing as I typically was, couldn't play dumb on this.
