called her after what happened between them. He wasn’t the
type to shy away from something that needed doing, but in truth he had no idea
how to handle Sophie.
    He found her to be a bundle of
contradiction. She was loud and confident in a group, yet quiet and sensitive
on her own with him. She came across as cynical and experienced in the ways of
the world, but he had learned first hand that she was as innocent and naïve as
a baby bird learning to fly. She merrily jumped without looking first, then
seemed terrified by the drop.
    “Hi.” He stopped in front of her.
    “Hello, Jack. How nice to see you.”
She sounded over polite and strained, yet her eyes were full of hope. He felt
his stomach dip. She still had feelings for him. How did he tell her to move
on? Did he even really want her to? He told himself that he a selfish pig
because deep down he wanted her to wait for him. To stay just as she was for a
few years until maybe one day… No, he wanted her to stop thinking about him and
have a great time. But perhaps she could do it in a longer skirt so that other
guys would stop looking at her legs!
    “Sophie…” He had no idea what to
say. “I think I should apologize again.”
    Her eyes flashed with a hint of
anger, but she didn’t say anything. He ran his hand through his hair.
    “I shouldn’t have taken advantage of
you.”
    “You didn’t. I mean I wanted you
to.” She didn’t voice the thought that she still wanted him to.
    She had sensed him before she had
even seen him. It was like a radar inside her when he was near. She had known
he would be here today, but despite lying awake half the night coming up with
clever things to say, now that he was here she could barely stop herself from
throwing her arms around him and begging him to hold her once again.
    “Are you seeing anyone?” Jack
mentally slapped himself. Why on earth had he asked that?
    She shook her head. “Are you?”
    “Umm, yeah, two or three girls at
Uni. Nothing serious, you know. I don’t want a steady girlfriend.” There, he’d
said it. So why did he feel like it was the wrong thing?
    “Do you still have my number?”
Sophie couldn’t believe she had so little pride as to ask, but she had wondered
every day for six long months.
    “Yes.”
    “Then call me some time. Or text me.
I’ve got to go. Goodbye, Jack.” She forced herself away and over to her
parents’ car that had just pulled up. She didn’t look back. She leaned in the
car window to kiss her mother and then climbed into the back seat.
    They were about a mile down the road
when her phone beeped.
I like your new hairstyle
    That was all it said. But she could
hardly restrain herself from bursting into tears of happiness. It was Jack’s
way of giving her his phone number. She re-read it a hundred times on the long
journey home. Now if only she could think up the perfect witty reply…
