Jack held up his hands in defeat. "Okay, okay. I'm not doing much better. But you have<br />

to admit that I haven't managed to date such a wide array of unsuitable people. I think<br />

we both need to take a lesson from my sister and take up with international celebrities."<br />

"Not to change the subject," Andie said pointedly, "but who all is coming to this dinner<br />

tomorrow night?"<br />

"Well," Jack held out his fingers and rattled off the guest list. "Grams and Jen, obviously,<br />

then there's <strong>Dawson's</strong> mom and dad, Bessie, Bodie, and Alexander, Doug and<br />

Gretchen, and then you, me, Pacey, and Dawson and Joey."<br />

Andie let a long pause settle, and finally said, "Is this going to be okay for you?"<br />

Pacey looked up with a start, trying to act surprised. "What, for me? That Joey and<br />

Dawson are coming? Sure." He knew she didn't believe him, and Jack didn't believe<br />

him, and even he didn't really believe him, but he pressed ahead anyway, as if he were<br />

eating something he didn't like, but felt obligated to finish it for the sake of the starving<br />

children in Africa. "It's all water under the bridge now, as they say. It was a long time<br />

ago, she's moved on, it's . . . you know, it's okay."<br />

"Are they together, or are they . . . together?" She directed it mostly to Jack, but it was<br />

Pacey who answered.<br />

"Officially, they're supposedly platonic as of the last Lindley update." He shook his<br />

head. "But I guarantee you it's only a matter of time."<br />

Jack leaned forward and raised an eyebrow. "And what will you do if they show up and<br />

announce they're back together for another round of their epic romance?"<br />

"I'll be fine. I'll congratulate them."<br />

Andie took a shot. "And if she gives you that cheery, strange, crooked Joey-smile like<br />

she's possessed?"<br />

"I'll pat her on the head and send her on her way."<br />

She went on. "What if he compares their story to some old movie he probably hasn't<br />

even seen?"<br />

Pacey couldn't help chuckling. "I'll congratulate him on the astute observation."<br />

Jack went in for the kill. "And if he uses the word 'soulmates'?"<br />

Pacey didn't pause for even an instant. "Oh, I'll kick his ass."<br />

They both paused to take this in, and then nodded slowly. "Sounds good," Jack<br />

managed finally.<br />
