âI canât believe this.â
âI know,â Tobin says, his eyes still wide with shock. âYou expect to run into an ex when you live in the same city, but to see them in fucking Bali?â
âIâm not talking about you seeing your ex in Bali, which yes, is a bit weird.â I frown at the space where Mallory and Mason last stood before they disappeared out the door. âIâm talking about you.â
Tobin finally focusses on me, his brows drawn downward. âWhat about me?â
âYour whole cynical, ârelationships are just surface level bullshitâ, Gerard Butler from The Ugly Truth bravado thing you have going on. Itâs all because of one girl?â
He opens his mouth to speak, but then closes it again.
I huff a laugh, putting my hands on my hips. âThis is unbelievable. I knew there was more to your story than you were letting on. But I just figured you had a series of bad relationships, some deep high school trauma or something you never recovered from. Not one bad relationship.â
âStop saying one like it wasnât reason enough to be a bit jaded,â Tobin says, jutting out his chin.
âWell is it?â I balk. âYou have a bad breakup and you decide to write off love all-together? Chalk it up to a hoax?â I slump onto a bar stool, staring at the bar as all the pieces slowly fall together. âThis is why youâre so weird about dating. This is why youâre so closed-minded when it comes to meeting people. Or should I say, sheâs why.â
Tobin exhales loudly, sinking into the stool next to mine. âOkay, fine. Maybe it is because of her.â
âAh ha!â
âYou donât have to âah haâ me. I just admitted it.â
âToo cool for school Tobin⦠secretly nursing a broken heart.â
âDo people still say too cool for school?â Tobin gestures to the bartender to pour him a beer. âAnd I wouldnât say itâs broken.â
âWhat would you say then?â I ask, swiveling my seat around to face him, my knees bumping the side of his thighs. âBecause if youâre carrying on like this, she must have broken something.â
The bartender sits a glass of beer in front of Tobin, and he stares at it, swiveling it in circles with his thumb and forefinger. And thatâs when I see it: the pain in his eyes that Iâve never picked up on before. Not before I saw the look on his face when he first ran into that blonde bombshell a few minutes ago.
âI wanted it to work⦠with Mallory,â he eventually chokes out. âEven though my track record didnât exactly scream ârelationship guyâ, I was ready for something real, and I thought she was too.â A bitter laugh erupts from his throat. âWell hey, sheâs engaged now, right? So I guess she was ready for something real, just not with me.â
Casting his eyes to the thatched ceiling, he shakes his head. âEngaged⦠engaged?â
âSo you dodged a bullet,â I say matter-of-factly.
âWhat?â
âI know girls. Trust me when I say she wasnât exactly jazzed when I jumped in, posing as your girlfriend.
