Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Lucien raised an eyebrow.

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.”
