Detours before Love

“I just came to tell you, well, that I like you Peter Kavinsky, and not in a fake way.” Peter looked at her with a face that did not bode well. He scratched the back of his head with his right hand, which only put in display his impressive right bicep. Lara Jean was a very smart girl, the instant he’d done that, she knew that he would not be telling her what she expected. She had come down there with romance novel fantasies in her mind, she had imagined Peter sweeping her off of her feet and kissing her senseless. Another version of the scene in her mind had Peter confess his love to her with his strong calloused hand holding hers, for hours, on the lawn, until dawn.However, reality novels often do not translate into reality. “Lara Jean, look, I really like you too, but not that way. You’re a great friend, and I enjoyed the time we spent together. But, I am sorry. I…” He stopped midsentence, inhaling deeply. “I got back together with Gen.” Lara Jean finds out that Peter got back together with Gen, that he had moved on quickly from their fake dating, and resolves she needs to move on, as well. That night, she receives a letter from an old friend. That might a sign. Unless, it isn't?
