Chapter 229

“Uh, hello?” I answered, beyond flustered to be talking to him after the conversation I just had with Ava. If only he knew.

Alexander’s voice was gentle, probably hearing how anxiety–filled my voice sounded. “Why don’t we put a pin in last night for now?” he suggested. “I just talked to Russell’s uncle, and he agreed to meet with you guys today. Does that work for you?”

My shoulders slumped with relief since he had been the one to suggest not to talk about what happened under the oak tree. “Yes,” I said gratefully.

“Would you like me to come with you?”

I paused. Was that smart? I never knew which version of Alexander I was going to get. But it would be smart to bring him with because he already knew Russell’s uncle. Also, I couldn’t lie; his presence did bring me comfort.

“That would be wonderful. We will meet you in the lobby in ten minutes,” I said..

After I explained the situation to Ava, we headed down to the lobby. When we got there, I searched for Alexander, but we were a little early. As I sat in one of the comfortable chairs to wait, my stomach jolted. On the phone, Alexander had said that we didn’t have to talk about last night…yet.

That meant that he wanted to talk about it later.

Great.
