I sigh as I sit down in the booth across froone to every home improvement store in the state If I never look at another oven or fridge again, it will be too soon I feel er across the screen when I see that Kenton is calling

"Hey," I answer

"Hey, babe I just wanted to call you really quick and let you know I’onna be late"

I feel a frown touch my lips at his words and the anxiety in his voice "Is everything okay?" I ask softly

"Sophie’s place was broken into when she was home I’m with Nico and the cops now"

"Oh my God, is she okay?"

"She’s fine A little shook up, but she’s all right"

"Who broke in?" I ask in shock

Nancy grabsit a squeeze

"We’re not sure, baby As soon as Nico gets Sophie home, I should be on my way"

"Okay, I’ll talk to you then"

"Later, baby"

"Later," I say softly

My oes to Sophie and Nico I haven’t met Sophie yet, but I have met Nico He looks scary but is very sweet The two times we’ve talked, he told me all about Sophie, and I can tell just by the tone of his voice when he speaks about her that he is in love I can only iht now

"Ohto call Susan" She picks up her phone
