Blake blanched, then swore. ‘Seriously, bro. Stop.’
‘No, come on, man. This is my life we’re talking about.’
‘Yeah, I know. I know.’ He dragged a hand through his hair. ‘Just… hang on a sec.’
He pulled his phone out and started to type.
Blake
Hate to interrupt secret girls’ business, but do you have a second?
Astrid
Hmm, a second? Or a little longer…
Blake laughed.
‘What?’ Aiden asked.
‘Astrid’s just… being Astrid.’ He went back to typing.
Blake
Love that idea, but my brickhead of a brother is here.
Astrid
Oh.
Blake
Yeah. So put that on ice for now.
Astrid
That’s what she said.
Blake laughed again.
‘What?’
‘You don’t want to know.’
Aiden nodded, anxiety spreading through him like the tide. Blake started typing again.
Blake
It won’t take long.
Then:
Blake
It’s about Sienna.
Her dots appeared immediately.
Astrid
