I’m halfway through a bite of nachos when my own phone lights up.
I frown, pick it up, and blink.
“Delulu Fam” is on my screen too.
I open it.
Ethan added you to the Delulu Fam chat.
Grace:OMG HI LEXY??
Jace:Well, well, well.
Penny:Finally!
Summer:Welcome to this crazy group chat! Hope you don’t mind?
A smile spreads before I can stop it.
“They added me,” I say, already typing.
Dex’s head snaps up. He grabs his phone, jaw tightening.
“They didn’t…” he mutters.
Lexy:Hi!??No, I don’t mind.
Dex:You’re all going to pay for this!
Grace:I can’t wait to meet you in person,@Lexy, at my parents’ anniversary party!
Jace:Can I save your number,@Lexy? Dex never wants to give it to me…
Dex: @JaceI know how to skin humans while they’re still breathing.
Cas:Welcome@Lexy. @Dex, don’t be possessive…
Ethan:Ahhh look at that, the whole family… well, almost.@Judeyou there?
Jude:Silencing you… again.
Grace: Why don’t we video call?
Penny:Yes!
Dex:Absolutely not!
Jace is calling the group.
Dex groans beside me.
I laugh.
“Please don’t pick up…” he mutters.
I smirk and accept the call.
Faces fill the screen. Penny and Cas on a couch. Summer and Ethan in their kitchen with Mia. Grace in what looks like a dorm. Jace somewhere sunny, leaning back like he owns the place.
