“You are a world class idiot,” Jess continued, pushing her sunglasses higher on her head. “You’ve spent five years missing her. You need to find her. You need to find a way to reconnect with her. See if she hates you. Ask Nate even. Or does he want to kill you still for breaking her heart?”
“No. He was pretty pissed at first, but he moved on and we’re still friends.” My sister knew everything about Kat. I couldn’t keep it all inside, and Jess was the only person I felt comfortable talking to about it. I spilled the beans to her after I went to Paris with an empty ache in my heart, one that hadn’t faded over those five years.
“She’s in New York,” Jess said pointedly. “I looked her up before I saw you this morning. She’s building her business. There has to be a way you can try to win her back. After all, that’s what the hero in a movie would do.”
Movies. I knew someone who loved movies. I only hoped I could find the same happy ending with Kat that Hollywood gives you.
Then I remembered the mentorship program at the NYU business school. Maybe I could get into that, and find my way back to her.
I gestured to the restaurant. “Let’s have lunch and plot a way back to the heroine’s heart.”
Jess flashed me a bright smile. “Now you’re talking.”
