her, and what makes her happy.” He kissed my cheeks then, and
leaned in to whisper in my ear, “I love you, Summer.”
    I
couldn’t help the warm blush that swept over my face then.
    Nat
leaned in to whisper in my ear, “I always have.”
    I
looked over at Drew, and he was watching me closely. The blue of his eyes had
grown darker. Or was it just the lighting of the room?
    “I
remember Summer always having this crush on you, Nat,” Drew said suddenly.
    “I
didn’t realize she did until we were teens,” Nat said. “By then, I realized I also
loved Summer. How could I not?” He kissed me again in front of Drew. “This
woman is amazing.” He reached over and held me in his arms before kissing me
fully on the lips. “My Summer,” he said, “my perfect sweet Summer, is
everything a man could wish for and more.”
    If
the old Drew was at all there in Drew, he would be all over Nat now, trying to
get his hands off me, and acting like a possessive caveman.
    Instead,
Drew smiled. He raised his glass and said, “Here’s a toast to the most loving
couple I’ve known for most of my life – Nat and Summer!”
    That’s
when my heart fell, and I knew Drew truly did not remember ever being with me
and the love we had for each other.

    Summer
     
                “ S ummer,” I turned around as Nat, Drew, Rachel,
Luis, and I walked out of the restaurant. We had an excruciating eight course
meal and was too full to even crawl out of our chairs.
                I
stopped walking, and Nat stopped along with me. Rachel looked over where she
was walking ahead with Luis.
                “Summer,”
Drew walked over to me. He looked at Nat and then at me again. “I found some
things.”
                Was
this it? Was this the moment Drew would confess this had all been a joke and
that he wanted us to be together? I held my breath.
                Nat
didn’t look too happy all of a sudden. In fact, he looked almost angry. He took
a possessive step forward between Drew and I. “What did you find?” he asked
Drew.
                “I
don’t know how it got there,” Drew said, “but Summer’s clothes and even her
things…they’re at my place. I could only think she stayed there when I’m away.”
                “It’s
a lot closer to the hospital than my place in Malibu,” I said. It was true. I
had started staying over at Drew’s place near USC which used to be Nat’s at
Donovan Dynamics’ Los Angeles building when the commute to the hospital became
too long. Drew said he wanted me to when I started getting calls at 2 in the
morning or 3 or whatever ungodly hour to rush to the hospital for emergencies.
“You said it was okay,” I said to Drew.
                “I
did?” Drew asked, looking confused. “I guess it makes sense since it is closer
to where you work. It’s Donovan Dynamics after all, and I have the only private
residential floor of that building. It was Nat’s place before so I guess it’s
okay.”
                “I’ll
pick up my stuff, Drew,” I said.  “I don’t think I’d stay over there anytime
soon.” I looked over at Nat, who looked at Drew angrily, but at me with a concerned
look.
                “What’s
going on?” Rachel asked, coming over.
                “Drew
found my things at his place,” I said.
                “Really?”
Rachel asked. “That’s because my dear brother Drew, you see, Summer and you…”
                “Had
an agreement,” I said quickly, trying to stop Rachel from making an awkward
dinner even more awkward. “I get to stay at his place at Donovan Dynamics since
it’s big enough when I’m on call at the hospital. But now that I see I won’t be
there for a while, I’ll go over and pack my things.”
                Rachel
shot Drew a mean look. “If you want Summer out of your place,
