She smiled. "Believe me, I understand." "I'm not sorry about anything." "No, no, me neither." "And you really are an amazing girl. I don't want you to think I don't think you're an amazing girl." "And you really are a remarkable guy." She waited a beat, able to hear him breathe a little on the other end of the phone. "And I know that you aren't sorry, and I know that you care about me, and I certainly know you like my feet." He laughed. "But I also know," she continued, "that you're very afraid that Joey is going to misunderstand the situation and jump to conclusions that aren't true. And I know that there's nothing that would be more upsetting to you than that, because I know better than anyone that if I could open up that great big heart of yours and look inside, I'd find nothing but Joey's fingerprints all over it." "And footprints," he muttered bitterly. She chuckled. "Well, maybe those too. But I said to you then, I said to you on New Year's, that I knew how much you missed her. And I still know how much you miss her." Pacey suddenly saw himself as if from the outside, saw what he was doing, saw himself on the telephone having this particular conversation with this particular girl, and it made him a little queasy. "Am I a dog? Am I a horrible, unfair, disgusting dog? Am I one of those guys that angry women singers write about? Am I one of those guys who your future husband is going to have to make up for?" "No," she assured him simply. "You're one of those guys I'm going to think of as somebody who almost, but not quite, was a pretty good prospect. Who knows? In a different universe where you're not madly in love with somebody else, maybe you would be a pretty good prospect. But I really don't have much interest in being anybody's second choice, so don't beat yourself up. If you had approached me with a different angle on what happened between us, I would have come back with the one you're taking right now." "I'm not sure I'm not making a mistake of epic proportions here," he said softly. "What would be a mistake of epic proportions," she sighed, "would be if you let this thing with Joey get away from you again. You have to clear this up with her, because if she did catch on to the New Year's thing, God only knows what she thinks is going on between us. And understandably so." "So you're telling me to go to the B&B and talk to her before it gets out of hand." "You should have hung up on me thirty seconds ago, because that would put you in your truck right now."
"I'm crazy about you, Lindley, you know that?" "Yeah, yeah, I know. Go get your girl." She hung up the phone, turned the TV sound back on, and munched on a handful of popcorn. In his apartment, Pacey threw down the cordless phone, grabbed his jacket off a hook <strong>by</strong> the door, and was gone. *** Joey was still asleep when there was a knock on the door. She opened her eyes slowly, realizing she had been asleep for hours, but was still in her coat from that morning. She threw the coat on the bed. "Coming, coming." She kicked off her sneakers and padded through the living room in her socks, finally making it to the door as the persistent knocking continued. She swung open the door. "Dawson." He was standing there next to a suitcase she recognized as her own. "I didn't think you really meant to leave without any of your stuff." *** part ten: cross It was like opening the newspaper and seeing your own obituary. Seeing Dawson filled Joey with an exhausted sense of the inevitability of it all, and somehow seemed impossible at the same time. It had to happen someday, but I didn't think it would be right now, and I'm not sure I'm ready. His smile was both warm and scolding, sending an absolutely unmistakable message: he was ready to forgive her, whether she was asking or not. "Dawson, come in." She rubbed her forehead as she stepped out of the doorway to let him <strong>by</strong>. He hoisted her suitcase and brought it inside, looking approvingly around the B&B where they'd been together only a couple of weeks before. Absurdly, Joey found herself saying, "Thank you for bringing my suitcase." He pulled off his coat and draped it over a chair. "I thought we needed to talk."
