Chapter 7 Then , seemingly at the press of a button , a warm amber light glowed through the blacked out window . I gaped , genuinely impressed by the unexpected magic of it . When I came back to my senses , the waiter had already disappeared . Caleb handed me the menu . What would you like to eat ? The prices werent exactly friendly . I hesitated . Caleb grinned at me . Afraid youll bankrupt me ? Half his face was bathed in light , the golden glow catching on his features and making his eyes sparkle . I mean , I said honestly, everything looks kinda pricey . Relax , I can definitely afford it . Order whatever you want . it..ck I slid the menu back to him . You pick . Im not picky . He took the menu , teasing me . Nice , youre low maintenance . How do you like your steak cooked ? I dont like it raw , I replied . He thought for a moment . Too well dones no good either . Medium well work for you ? That works . After we ordered , I pointed at myself . Guess what I feel like right now ? He took a sip of water and raised a brow . What ? Like a small town girl seeing Times Square for the first time . 5.5 % Chapter 7 He laughed , and I noticed the two shallow dimples that appeared on his cheeks . He looked warm and sunny when he smiled . Looking at him , I suddenly thought of Lucas again . It had been a while since I last did . Its just that he also had a dimple when he smiled . But he didnt smile often though usually just a slight curve of his lips . I used to poke his dimple and tell him , You should smile more . You look good when you smile . But after Lila showed up , he started smiling more sometimes sweetly , sometimes adoringly . Now I realized that he just didnt like smiling at me . Our dinner began at the peak of sunset and ended after darkness had fallen . By the time we walked out , the square outside was packed with people . Sophie , I had a great time today . I looked up at him as he smiled down at me . Todays my birthday . What ?! I stared at him in shock . Its your birthday ? I should have been treating you ! Why didnt you tell me earlier ? He gave me a fake wounded look . Because if I told you , I figured youd ditch me . I wouldnt , I said , shaking my head . A few moments passed . I started wondering what kind of birthday gift I could get him . Suddenly , I felt warm breath on my face as he leaned in close , his voice husky . Thinking about what present to get me ? Hed dyed his hair bright blonde two days ago and hed gotten chewed out for it . The wind blew his hair , making him look like a golden retriever . I want that embroidered charm Chapter 7 you had . Once when hed come looking for me , I was packing up my things , and a handmade embroidered charm fell out of my backpack . Can I have it ? he asked with a lopsided grin . Please , Sophie ? Id refused back then , only because Id originally made the charm as a birthday gift for Lucas . Id stitched the pattern one stitch at a time . Even though it would never reach Lucass hands , giving it to Caleb didnt seem right either . Like I was offering him something someone else had already rejected . I nodded firmly , making him a promise . Okay , but youll have to wait a few days . Ill make a new one for you . On the way back home , Caleb asked me for the first time . Sophie … what college are you aiming for ? I tilted my head up at the scattered stars in the sky . Why ? I paused , then answered , Because … Because I dont like the life style here . Its so fast . I want to be slower . Caleb lowered his head , lost in thought , and just nodded . We eventually stopped outside the apartment I was renting . He gave a small wave . Get inside . I took a few steps , then turned back to look at him . The young athlete stood in the shadows in his jersey , a faint smile on his lips but a dimness in his eyes . In that moment , something tugged in my chest .. I waved to him . Happy birthday , Caleb . Chapter 7 He raised his hand and waved back with a smile . Sophie, youre definitely going to make it to Oxford .
