Friends that…
Friends.
Always friends.
But more.
We’re going to be so much more.
My phone rings.
Kastle’s name blares on the screen.
I’m immediately uneasy when I pick up and he doesn’t speak.
“What’s wrong?” I ask.
“Glory’s in the emergency room.”
I stiffen and all the visions of our perfect night get dashed. “Is she okay?”
“It’s not looking so good. They need me.”
“Do you need me to come with you?”
“No, I’ve got it. I’m just…”
“I know.”
“I was looking forward to tonight.”
“Me too.”
“I’m sorry, Kae.”
“Sorry? For what? Being a good brother? A good uncle?”
A car door slams. He sounds breathless now. Like he’s running. “If anything happens to Glory…”
“It won’t.” There’s a tremble in my voice and I chase it away. “We can always reschedule. Go to Glory. They need you. Heath needs you.”
“I’ll be back soon.”
“I’ll be waiting.”
“The moment I’m back, I’m coming for you.”
My throat gets tight. “I’ll light the candles.”
“Don’t make me laugh.”
“I’m serious.”
“Attention passengers at Gate C…””
My jaw drops. “Are you at the airport?”
“I got a seat at the last minute. I’m barely going to make it.”
