(Late for love) Chapter 10
After hours of travel, my plane landed in Austin.

I pulled out my phone, receiving a text: I’m at the airport. Where are you?
“Just arrived.”
As I replied, I saw Jake in the terminal. He was dressed impeccably, looking like a gentleman of the old school, gracious and mannerly. He checked his phone, then looked up, searching for me. As he saw me, he waved and walked over.
I was stunned. My naughty childhood rival had changed a lot.
“Wow, surprised?” he teased.“After we’re married, you can stare at me all day.”
I rolled my eyes.“Narcissism never leaves you.”
He took my luggage, opened the car door, and placed it in the trunk. He
smiled as he drove.

agree to marry me? Everyone thought I was joking.”
He smiled. “I thought you knew why,”

Sighing, he didn’t answer directly.“That was not the first time you had done something crazy. I knew you were serious.” Pausing at a red light, he turned to me.”

What he said stunned me. Not the first time?
My mind raced, trying to figure out what he meant. He was talking about
that I moved to Dallas for Grant? And he said he was lucky?
My ears flushed. I stammered, “You… like me?”
The light turned green. He laughed. “Yes. And I like you even longer than you
like Grant.”
He knew that I went to a distant city and stayed there for Grant, who didn’t
appreciate me. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
