As soon as I get back home, I call Lucas

Even though I’ much conversation froht I’ry, but nowhere near the level I was In his oeird way, I knoas just looking out forwith Aaron back in his life

“I’ to me,” Lucas says when he answers the phone “And I’m even more shocked you actually went to see him”

I ser at his joke “Yeah, well, I’ht as well be him”

“You didn’t,” Lucas laughs

“No, but I wanted to” I smirk “I told him to stick his internship”

“You can’t do that, Lace,” he argues “Don’t give hiet the reference you deserve”

Wow I never expected hiht he’d want me to stay as far away from Aaron as possible But the ht

At the very least, I deserve that reference I open s

“I have to go,” Iit’s one of Ariel’s friends “I’ll co stupid, okay?”

“Who, me?” he asks innocently

I groan and shove the phone in my pocket

Yanking open the door, I nearly fall over when I see Aaron standing there

“Lacey, please just hear h, positive I’ret this I move aside

and let him in “Thank you”
