She wasn\u2019t quite sure she believed his reassurances, though. Small and a little sad, she said, \u201cI don\u2019t want to make the same mistake with him that I made with you. I\u2019m so tired of being alone, Stiles.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Okay, trust me, I get that, Summer,&#8221; Stiles said, looking into her eyes. &#8220;But you can\u2019t let that experience hold you back forever. That\u2019s not healthy and it\u2019s not fair to yourself. Just be confident and call him,&#8221; he stopped and thought for a second. &#8220;Okay, here\u2019s a simple test. If you tell him who you are and give him a very vague description of how you met and he remembers, then you know he\u2019s been thinking about it, too?&#8221; It was a question because he wasn\u2019t quite sure how she would take that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Is that how it works? I mean, do you guys really think about things like that?&#8221; When she thought about calling Isaac, it was like a pit formed in her stomach, heavy wth fear. He\u2019d seemed so nice, so genuine and sweet and trustable, but she didn\u2019t trust her memories. What if he regretted following Helios? What if he resented the way she\u2019d butted into his life, promising to fix his phobia?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>stilesthesarcasticstilinski: iamthefirechild: stilesthesarcasticstilinski: &#8220;Summer!
