This trip was clearly important, and he was definitely cutting it

close.

So, Lucien did as she asked, pulling over at the convenience store. As she got out, he added, almost as an afterthought, “Text me when you get there.”

Then, as if sensing she might misinterpret, he quickly tacked on. “Or text Alyssa. Either one.”

Kaia smiled, “Okay.”

She watched the black car vanish into the night.

Showing up this late was pushing it, but Kaia couldn’t wait another minute.
