Faye: Oh I remember
I feel like you might need a reminder. When can you come see us again?
Faye: As much as I’d like that, you know we have to be careful
Jase flopped onto the couch. “She’s going to kill me. I can’t go much longer without seeing her.”
He said it like it was a joke, but I knew he meant it. I felt it too.
“Same,” I agreed, my thumbs hovering over my screen.
Jase: We get why you’re being careful. Doesn’t mean we don’t want you here
The dancing dots appeared, disappeared, and then returned. When her message finally came through, my stomach dropped.
Maybe instead of me flying to Florida, you two can come to Boston?
“There’s no way we could make that work with our schedules,” Jase sighed.
We’re stuck here until the last week of October. I don’t think we can swing a trip before then
Faye: Where will you go after you’re done in Florida?
Probably to California to see Jase’s mom and then to Portland to visit our dads. Maybe we can go to Boston first?
Faye: Wait. This might work out perfectly. There’s a gala in LA I’m supposed to go to on the first Friday in November. Could you guys meet me there?
Jamie still lived in San Diego, but we could easily make the drive up to LA, especially if it meant getting to be with Faye.
“I think that’s doable,” I said.
“Yeah,” Jase agreed and then sent:
Give us the details, and we’ll be there
Faye: I’ll send them this weekend. In the meantime stay out of trouble
Princess, the only kind of trouble we want to get into involves you
“Real smooth.” Jase smirked.
I shrugged. “Tell me I’m lying.”
His grin softened, and for once, I couldn’t quite read his expression. “Nah. You’re not.”
Faye: I probably shouldn’t encourage either of you but I like the sound of that
Jase: We’ll make LA unforgettable. You can count on it
Faye: I already am
I only got excited about two things.
Baseball.
And her.
At least that’s what I told myself.
