His conscience pressed down in dread, making him feel sick.
His brother’s pleas spun and spun through his mind.
Trying to shove it off and focus on the good things he had ahead of him, he glanced back at the thread on his phone for what was truly thebestthing ahead of him.
Wallflower
You did it. I’m so proud of you.
Cash
Did you doubt me?
Wallflower
Not at all. But still, I thought I was going to freak out on that last play.
Yeah, Cash had thought he was going to freak out, too. He guessed he still was freaking out.
Cash
You’re riding home with my parents?
Wallflower
Yep. They’re going to drop me off back at school. They’re so kind.
Cash
They’re the best. Well, except for you.
Wallflower
Are you trying to butter me up?
He couldn’t stop his grin.
Cash
I hope it’s working.
Wallflower
Count me sufficiently buttered.
Wallflower
Wait, oh God, that came out wrong.
He could almost see her hiding her embarrassment behind her hands.
Cash
I personally like the way it came out.
Wallflower
I bet you did.
