Dallas opened her door and gasped, "Kevin! Come in!"
"Thanks Dallas," Kevin said. "Brian said he had seen you."
"Oh," Dallas murmured.
"AJ told me where you live," Kevin said. "I thought you might want to talk."
"About what?" Dallas asked.
"What happened between you and Brian," Kevin said.
"Nothing happened," Dallas said, sitting down on her couch. "We fell asleep. That's all."
"I mean when you broke up," Kevin said. "It never made sense to me."
"Well, we were in love, about to graduate, and then out of nowhere, he never wanted to see me again," Dallas said. "Then you two went and got famous."
"So you never knew why he broke up with you?" Kevin asked.
"No clue," Dallas said.
"Steve told Brian you had slept with him," Kevin said. "I guess Brian just assumed you would know."
"I never slept with Steve!" Dallas exclaimed. "Why would he say something like that?"
"Maybe he was jealous," Kevin said quietly.
"Of me?" Dallas asked. "Why?"
"Brian was going to ask you to marry him," Kevin said. "He told him right before Brian was planning to propose."
"Oh wow," Dallas said in amazement. "I guess I can understand why he never wanted to see me again. But why didn't he ask me what had happened?"
"I don't know," Kevin said. "Steve was his best friend. Who woukd you believe?"
"Good question," Dallas said.
"You guys could've been married," Kevin said.
"Or at least happy," Dallas said. She began to cry.
"What's wrong?" Kevin asked, hugging her.
"I never stopped loving, hoping he'd come back," Dallas sobbed. "And when I saw him at the club it felt like fate. And he was so nice! I'm such a fool!"
"No you are not!" Kevin exclaimed.
"Kevin, I told him I hated him!" Dallas said. "I could never hate him!"
"I know," Kevin said, stroking her back.
"What am I going to do?" Dallas asked.
"We'll figure it out," Kevin said.
