“And now you’re not?” Collin seemed genuinely curious.
“I’m trying to not be in a mood. Being in a mood gets me into trouble. By the way, he has no idea about last night, and he’s not going to.” And maybe, if she really was going to make a change, it should start now. “I should apologize for all that. I...um...” She wasn’t quite sure how to explain last night without laying bare those old insecurities.
“‘Was in a mood’?” Collin asked, and this time she definitely caught a hint of laughter in his voice.
“Something like that.”
“What caused the mood?”
Nope. Not going there. Collin Tyler might not hate her, but that didn’t mean she needed to dump all her baggage on him. He was barely an acquaintance. She shook her head. “Doesn’t matter.”
Collin nodded. “I was in a weird mood, too,” he said.
“So you did want to dance with me?” Savannah leaned her shoulder against the truck and crossed one foot over the other in the dirt.
“No,” he said, a little too quickly, a little too harshly. She couldn’t ignore the quick hit of pain. Stupid pride.
“Don’t go getting all soft on me now,” Savannah said. “Tell me how you really feel.”
He didn’t look at her for a long moment. When he finally spoke, he seemed completely focused on a tree with branches hanging low over the smooth water.
“Savannah, I have... There’s a lot.” He drew his brows together. “You’re Levi’s sister. I just don’t think about you that way.”
Oh. Well, that was way more information than she wanted at—Savannah glanced at her watch—ten o’clock in the morning. The day after she’d made a serious come-on to the man.
“Maybe we could be friends,” he said.
The feelings she felt around Collin were definitely not the friendship breed of feelings. Good thing she was decent at covering up her true feelings. That was the one thing in life she’d always been good at.
“Sure, whatever. I just wanted to apologize because I had a little too much to drink last night. But I’m going back to Nashville in a couple of weeks, so we don’t have to pretend we’re friends or anything. We can just go back to being Levi’s sister and Levi’s best friend. It’s all good,” she said, hating the words even as she said them. Hating the intentionally careless tone she’d pushed into her voice.
Savannah was pretty sure she didn’t want to be Collin’s friend.
He might not think he wanted her as his girlfriend—not even in the short term—but she definitely didn’t want to just be his friend.
And if no one ever called her Levi’s sister for the rest of her life, it would be too soon.
She backed away from the truck, feeling Collin’s gaze on her the way she’d felt his hands the night before.
“See you around, friend,” she said and then turned and walked away from him as quickly as she could.
