“What have we here?” Phoebe skips up to me and hugs me.
“A miracle, Phoebe, that’s what we have.” I laugh, wave to Jade, and walk home.
I’m not home long when I get a text from Tessa.
- I hear this song at least ten times a day. “Look After You” by the Fry. We danced to it at Harper’s wedding … TT
- So, baby is okay now? No matter what, you have always been, and I don’t want that to stop … LYA
- I can deal … TT
- This song is one of my Tessa songs. “Fall For You,” Second Hand Serenade. Not happy you had to lose Collin for it to happen, but I’m glad I am getting a chance to make it up to you … LYA
- I’m glad I am getting to see the man I knew you could be. But I’m sad I said it because it hurts to have lost him. Is it okay that I said that? Did I hurt you? I just don’t know what to do. Being honest about it may hurt you, Lucas. I’m sorry … TT
-No, it’s perfect, Tessa. Don’t stop telling me how you feel. I want all of it. Song again. “All of Me,” John Legend … LYA
- I’ve heard it, a lot lately actually. You’re sure? … TT
- One hundred and ten percent … LYA
- So, you think I’m crazy? … TT
- What? … LYA
- The song says you’re crazy. Is that why it’s a Tessa song? … TT
- Well, if we’re doing a lyric thing here, I’d be OUT OF MY MIND to answer that truthfully … LYA
- Ass … TT
- Can you sleep or should I come sneak in the window and hold you? … LYA
- I think I can. But we leave in an hour … TT
- Try … LYA
- OK, goodnight … TT
- Goodnight, baby … LYA
?
I wake with a hangover and a message from Tessa.
- We’re here. Two days until the concert. Pretty cool to watch how much goes on behind the scenes. Hope you have a great day … TT
- Perfect way to start it. A message from you. Stay safe … LYA
Later that day, she sends a picture of the stage, and a message before the pic.
- Stay tuned for the after … TT
I smile as I pack up to head to Jersey.
- Trying to not text you too much, but I will be in Jersey for a few days. Work calls, and the house is empty, so I might as well, right? … LYA
- Will you see Ashley? … TT
