Eisen pocketed his phone and sighed. It was just a date.
So, why in the hell did he feel like someone had taken an arrow and stuck it right through his heart? Melodramatic? Maybe. But damn it, when you feel something for a girl for the better part of four years (taking into exception the times he’d allowed himself to think that he and Cait were back together), it was impossible not to feel let down. There was no need to overreact. It was just a date. One date. Who was to say that it would even go well?
Okay, that wasn’t right. Ed was a good kid. If it wasn’t him, at least he could be consoled by the fact that a good person was the one taking her out.
Besides that, it was his fault anyway. He was the one who’d waited too long. He was the one who had been presented with the perfect opportunity to ask her out on an actual date and had just ignored it for a dinner as ‘just friends.’ It was his fault that he hadn’t felt right asking her out while she was in the hospital. How was he supposed to know that she actually wouldn’t have minded?
Or maybe with him, she would have minded. He didn’t want to think of that. The possibility that all those signals he’d been getting were off wasn’t something he wanted to even entertain.
He hadn’t even realized how close he was to Rory’s. He breathed a deep sigh, then shook his head in an attempt to clear it, and turned to walk up to the door.
