It’s becoming a weird habit of ours—talking for a while after we Skype. He still watches me come, and honestly, I enjoy it just a little more when it’s him, and isn’t that silly?
“It was worth it,” he murmurs.“Although, my coworkers might disagree. They probably think I have stomach issues now.”
I can’t help but laugh again. I adjust the mask on my face, my fingers lingering there as my teeth worry at my lower lip.
“I’m trying to imagine it,” I answer quietly.“It’s so weird that I don’t know what you look like.”
“It is.” I hear him clear his throat.“But then again, I don’t know exactly what you look like either.”
“Kind of weird,” I chuckle nervously, my heart rate quickening.
“Yeah,” he chuckles softly.“Weird.”
He doesn’t ask me to take off the mask, which is a good thing.
Because right now I can’t say that I wouldn’t do it for him.
CHAPTER 15
Cassie
This is a really lame adventure,” Sophie comments from the passenger seat of my car.
I huff out a sigh. “Just give me a minute.”
I try to crank the ignition again, hearing that fatal rumbling whine as the engine of my old car tries its best to turn over for a few seconds before it sputters and gives out again.
“Come on,” I groan. “Don’t do this to me.”
“Does it need gas?”
“It has plenty of gas.”
“What about oil?”
“What are you, a mechanic?”
Sophie shrugs. “Just trying to help.”
“I know, I know. I don’t know what’s wrong with it. It probably just hates me.”
“How are we going to get to the zoo?”
I drop my head on the steering wheel, sighing as I think. “We could call an Uber.”
“It’s a peak time,” she says casually. “They’ll take forever.”
I cock an eyebrow in her direction as I lift my head. “How do you know about peak times?”
“Mom didn’t have a car,” she says. “We always Ubered if it was far.”
“Okay. What about the bus?”
Sophie makes a face. “The bus?”
“You’ve never taken the bus?”
“It’s hot.”
