I frown in confusion, about to ask him to elaborate when suddenly… I get it.
He’s calling a girl the next day.
He never does that.
Ever.
Except right now.
A smile breaks across my face as something flutters in my chest.
“And if you ever need me to help you out again, just send me the word, okay?”
“Okay.” I nod, clamping my lips against the giddy laugh that wants to burst out of me. “Thanks for calling, Case.”
“Yeah, uh… no problem.”
“How much is it killing you?” I laugh.
“Actually, you know, it’s not too bad.”
“Great.” I giggle out the word. “You’re very brave.”
He growls in his throat, and that just makes me laugh harder.
“Seriously, though…” I let the last of the giggles ride through me before finding my voice again. “I really appreciate the call. Thank you. It means a lot.”
“Yeah, well… good. Okay. I’m gonna go.”
“Okay.” I can’t help laughing again as he gives me a feeble goodbye and hangs up.
No wonder he never calls girls the next day. He’s so awkward on the phone!
So adorably awkward.
I brush my thumb over my lock screen, my smile growing all over again as I flop back on my pillow with a giddy sigh.
CHAPTER 20
CASEY
I stare at my phone, then catch a glimpse of myself in the reflective glass.
I’m frowning.
Deep.
What the fuck did I just do?
I called a girl… for no particular reason.
What? Did I just want to hear the sound of her voice or some shit?
I must be losing my damn mind.
Slipping the phone into my back pocket, I scratch the back of my head, then shake it.
I called a girl.
