taste.” Jessica grinned. “Go for it, Ash.”  

    The girls walked into the dining room and got dinner. It was Mexican food night.  

    “Ole!” Jessica said as they dug in.  

    “Not bad,” Kelsey said.  

    Ashley pushed her plate away. “This isn’t Mexican food,” she said. “I’m going to see what else they have.” She stood up and walked back to the line.  

    “I”m not a purist,” Jessica said, eating a spoonful of rice.  

    “Me, neither,” Kelsey agreed. They continued eating as Ashley returned with a salad covered in cheese and dressing.  

    “This will be better,” Ashley said, tucking in.  

    “Hey!” said a voice behind Kelsey. Dylan bumped her chair lightly. “You didn’t text me for dinner.”  

    “I told her she should have,” Jessica said, smiling prettily at him.  

    He smiled at her and stuck his hand out to Ashley. “Hi, Dylan Shaw. We’re in the same small group.”

    Ashley swallowed and shook his hand. “Ashley Taylor, nice to meet you.”  

    “Mind if I join you?”  

    “Not at all,” Jessica said, as Dylan sat down.

    “Dylan, it’s not like we ate together every night in college,” Kelsey said.  

    “This is different, Kels. Us nice people have to stick together.”  

    “That’s what I’ve been telling her.” Jessica smiled at him. Dylan began to eat. “Did you buy your books?” she asked.

    “That trip cost me over $1600.” Dylan frowned.  

    “Wow,” Kelsey said.  

    “We ordered used ones,” Jessica said.  

    “I can’t stand using books that other people have written in,” Dylan said, biting into a taco.  

    “I don’t like it either, but I’m going to just have to deal,” Jessica said.

    “This isn’t the best dinner tonight,”   Dylan said.  

    “That’s what I said. It’s not really Mexican.” Ashley pouted.  

    “You’re from Texas?” Dylan asked. Ashley nodded. “We’ll have to go down to the market one day. Get the real stuff from La Vaca.”  

    “The market?” Jessica asked.

    “Pike Place Market,” Kelsey said.  

    “Oh, the fish throwing place,” Jessica said.  

    “There’s a lot more than that there, Jess.” Dylan laughed. “When my car comes, we’ll drive down and have some good food.”  

    “Why didn’t you drive up?” Kelsey asked, “I’ve been meaning to ask that.”

    “Broken transmission, just as I was packing up. My brother will drive it up next weekend.”  

    “That’s nice of him,” Jessica said.  

    “Nice? He’s the idiot who broke it,” Dylan said.

    “Dylan and his brother have issues,” Kelsey said with a wink.  

    “I think I’ll make him take light rail back to the airport. It will serve him right.”

    “How old is your brother?” Ashley asked.  

    “Eighteen. He thinks he’s the next Justin Bieber,” Dylan said. “I’m going to get a drink. Does anyone want anything?” Everyone shook their heads no as Dylan stood up and walked to the soda machine.

    “You’ve met Dylan’s brother?” Jessica asked.  

    Kelsey nodded. “A few times. He’s okay. Just immature.”  

    “Not like his big brother,” Jessica said, eating some more food.

    “I’m starting to worry about you. You’re falling hard,” Kelsey said. Jessica shrugged as Dylan returned with a soda and dessert.  

    “Where are you from?” Ashley asked Dylan as she finished her salad.  

    “Portland,” Dylan replied.  

    “Why did you go to school in your hometown? Didn’t you want to explore?” Jessica asked him.

    “Why leave the coolest city in the world? I mean, unless you’re going to law school in the second coolest city.”  

    “I like to think New York City is pretty nice,” Jessica said in surprise.  

    “Too busy,” Dylan said, eating a bite of cheesecake.  

    “I’m going back,” Jessica said simply.  

    “Enjoy. I’m staying in the Pacific Northwest.”  

    “And with that, the romance is over.” Jessica said, changing into her
