Maybe Next Year – June Gray
Across the lobby, Julian stood, exactly as I remembered and somehow different all at once. His hair was shorter again, though a few strands fell across his forehead like he hadn’t bothered to tame them completely. He wore jeans and a light linen shirt, the sleeves rolled casually to his forearms.
He lifted a hand and mouthed, “Hi.”
“You’re here,” I said, my feet already carrying me across the lobby before my mind could catch up.
“I’m here.”
There was no awkward pause, no polite distance. I set my purse on my suitcase and reached for him, and then his arms were around me, warm and solid, pulling me with a sigh.
For a second, I stayed tucked in the hollow of his body, breathing him in.
“It’s good to see you,” he murmured into my hair.
“You too.” I pulled away and grinned up at him. “What are you doing up so late?”
“Waiting for you,” he said. “Where are you staying?”
“I’d planned on crashing on Lola Naty’s couch,” I said. “But I don’t want to wake her.”
Julian said nothing. He just watched me, waiting.
“So…” I hesitated, then pushed through the thudding in my chest. “I was hoping maybe I could stay with you tonight?” I raised my eyebrows, leaving it open for him to decide.
The corner of his mouth curved up as he reached for my luggage. “Are you sure?” he asked with a meaningful look.
I held his gaze. The past year had been about healing and rebuilding, about figuring out who I was again. I wasn’t completely over Adam; I wasn’t sure I ever would be. But I also knew this wasn’t about running from the past.
This was about taking a step toward something new.
“Yes,” I said, my voice steady, my eyes clear. “I’m sure.”

My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
