Chapter 229
“Uh, hello?” | answered, beyond flustered to be talking to him after the conversation | just had with Ava. If only
he knew.
Alexander’s voice was gentle, probably hearing how anxiety-filled my voice sounded. “Why don’t we put a pin in
last night for now?” he suggested. “I just talked to Russell's uncle, and he agreed to meet with you guys today.
Does that work for you?”
My shoulders slumped with relief since he had been the one to suggest not to talk about what happened under
the oak tree. “Yes,” | said gratefully.
“Would you liketo cwith you?”
| paused. Was that smart? | never knew which version of Alexander | was going to get. But it would be smart to
bring him with because he already knew Russell's uncle. Also, | couldn't lie; his presence did bringcomfort.
“That would be wonderful. We will meet you in the lobby in ten minutes,” | said..
After | explained the situation to Ava, we headed down to the lobby. When we got there, | searched for
Alexander, but we were a little early. As | sat in one of the comfortable chairs to wait, my stomach jolted. On the
phone, Alexander had said that we didn’t have to talk about last night...yet.

handsman that | had ever seen.
As soon as he stepped into the lobby, his eyes met mine. | couldn't decipher the deep emotion on his face, but
his expression still madeavert my gaze away from his.
Gai was behind him, and she led us to a white van and explained that Alexander had rented the van this
weekend in order to transport us all. Richard was in the driver's seat, and Aiden was next to him in the
passenger side.
| climbed into the very backseat, expecting Ava to take the spot besideon the bench, but she smirked at me,
then rearranged her face until she was frowning.
“I get really car sick if | sit in the backseat,” my friend said.
“Alexander, will you sit in the back with Olivia? I'll get sick riding back there.”.
| glared at her as Alexander jumped at the chance to sit next to me.
“Since when do you get car sick?” Aiden asked as he turned to look at his sister.
She swatted him on the back of his head. “Since always,” she snapped.
Alexander sat right next to me, and my stomach jolted when the side of his warm body pressed against mine. |
