out with two that I know about. At least I don’t have to worry about having a crush on him.”
Lee stiffened slightly. “A crush wouldn’t be so bad.”
“It would for me. I gave Trevor my heart once and he trampled all over it.”
“I know. I’m sorry. That was really difficult for you.”
They walked into the hospital. Dana paused by the reception desk. “Trevor and I have talked about the past,” she said, her voice low so that they wouldn’t be overheard. “He brought it up when he first came here.”
Lee raised her eyebrows. “I’m surprised. Did he apologize?”
“Not exactly. He said he wanted to explain. He swore he wasn’t the one to spread the rumors about him and me. He said the only person he told was Joel Haddock.”
“Who?”
“You know, the dark-haired skinny guy I was friends with that summer. He’d been close to Trevor. Trevor claims Joel wanted to go out with me himself, and that when he found out about Trevor and me, he spread the story to break us up.”
“Do you believe him?” Lee asked.
“I don’t know. Trevor has a lot of flaws, but he’s always been honest He has no reason to lie this many years after the fact.”
“Does the past still matter?”
Dana shook her head. “There’s a hard question. I guess it shouldn’t, right?”
“Only you can answer that Trevor was important to you once. You were hurt badly by what you thought were his actions. Would knowing none of it was his fault change anything?”
Dana wanted to say that it wouldn’t. She wasn’t that fifteen-year-old girl anymore. Trevor was no longer the center of her world. She’d grown up and moved on. Yet, in ways she couldn’t explain, it did matter.
“I’m confused,” she admitted.
“It’s a start,” Lee said, and glanced at her watch. “I’m really sorry, but I’m running late. I have to get to the clinic.”
