Ruby:

IT IS NOT A DATE

Trey:

If the door closes

And the lighting is warm

And he leans over the desk

IT’S

A

DATE.

Ruby:

I hate all of you.

Ava:

Love you too.

See you tonight.

Prepare yourself.

Sienna:

And hydrate.

Trey:

Your future boss-husband said hi earlier.

Ruby:

BYE.

CHAPTER 23

Ruby

By 7PM, I have eaten half a pack of crackers, paced a groove into my carpet, stared at my face in the mirror for fifteen minutes, and changed my shirt four times even though the meeting is TOMORROW.

I am not okay.

I flop onto my couch, groaning into a pillow. “I can’t do this. I’m not built for billionaire proximity.”

My phone buzzes.

Ava:We’re outside.

No.

I jump up, sprint to the door, fling it open.
