111 THESE STEPS WITH YOU

LUKE’S POV

So, Laura and I had been here for minutes, having a conversation that I couldn’t understand myself. It was actually nice being around her, she was fun to talk with, but I just didn’t want to get moved by her beauty.

A promise made to my late grandfather, I was not going to do anything stupid, leaving my wife and start following some other lady. Even though I didn’t love Ariel, I needed to be faithful.

She rolled her eyes. “I never forgot that.”

“You’re the one who’s squandering the time here. If you can just let me have your contact, we’ll leave this place immediately.”

“Why’s my contact so important, huh?”

“Cause we’re friends. And as a friend, I need to have your contact.”

Laura chuckled. “Are you kidding me right now?”

I look like I’m joking?” I made a serious face.
