“So you didn’t read my emails wherein I apologized for hurting you and said a lot of really great things about you and got really vulnerable about my feelings? And therefore you’re still mad at me? Is that what’s going on here?” “I’m not mad at you, Vivian. It was eight years ago. Why would I be mad at you?” “Right. So my sister somehow knew this badass personal trainer named Mitch is my long-lost former best friend—who ghosted me—and she thought she’d surprise me by reuniting us, but it turns out you still bear a grudge. Is that an accurate description of what’s happening?” “I am the badass personal trainer who owns this gym, correct.” “Got it. Cool. Let’s proceed, then.” “Fill that out quickly, and then we’ll get to the workout. You good?” “Oh, yes,” I say, giving him my most charming smile while also ensuring I have excellent posture, for confidence and boob reasons. “It might take you a while to remember, but I’m kind of amazing.” “We’ll see,” he says. “We’ll see.” He crosses his arms—his beautiful, muscular forearms—leans back further in his chair, gripping the armrests, causing a couple of veins to protrude slightly, and waits for me to fill out the forms. We’ll see. I narrow my eyes at him. I’m going to make you feel so terrible for missing out on me for eight years, Brad Mitchell. Good luck trying to resist me now.
