Chapter 149

Alex considered it for a moment but then hesitated. He had been seeing Sarah more often lately and didn't want to be too clingy. Instead, he asked, "What about Aunt Linda? I still-"

Arnold cut him off, his voice firm. "Aunt Linda has work tomorrow. Don't bother her."

Something in his tone made Alex drop the subject. He pressed his lips together before sighing, "Fine. I'll just ask Mom."

Arnold hummed in response, distracted.

Alex picked up his phone and dialed Sarah's number.

Sarah had just stepped through her apartment door when her phone started ringing. She glanced at the screen, saw Alex's name, and hesitated.

After a moment, she put the phone down without answering.

She walked straight into the bathroom, letting the cool water from the shower wash away the day's exhaustion. By the time she came out, the phone had stopped ringing.

Back at Lancelot Manor, Alex put his phone down with a small sigh. "Mom's probably busy," he muttered. "She's been working a lot."

Harrison, who had been lounging nearby, overheard. "I'm free tomorrow," he offered. "Want to hang out?"

Alex's face lit up. "Really?"

Harrison grinned. "Yeah. We can do whatever you want."

Alex beamed, already making plans in his head.
