As we began to walk toward our cars, Gai gavea sly smile that made my heart race. What was she about to
say? She couldn't have found out about Alexander and me, could she?
“It’s not easy being the apple of the boss's eye, is it?” she teased.
| laughed, trying to seem nonchalant, but even my chuckle sounded strained. “Go hand get ssleep to
recover from those whiskey shots during lunch. You're welcfor covering for you today, by the way. Alexander
didn’t even find out.”
Gai blewa kiss. “Thank you, you're the best.”
We said goodbye, and when | got into my car, a wave of tiredness swept over me. | considered canceling dinner,
but I didn’t want to have to figure out what to have on my own. Besides, seeing Ava always cheeredup, and
Aiden was a good guy.
When | was halfway to her apartment complex, my phone began to ring, and | answered the call using my car's
Bluetooth.
“Hey, girl,” Ava’s voice floated through my speakers. “Are you on your way?”
“Yes. | should be there in about ten minutes,” | said and flicked on my turn signal to merge lanes.
“Can you actually dothe biggest favor and stop at the grocery store that’s right on the corner of my
complex? | totally forgot to get a clove of garlic, | need more butter and two bottles of red wine.”
“No problem,” | said, happy to help out my friend who was feeding me.

Aiden opened the door and pulledin for a hug.
“Hi,” | said and smiled. “It isn’t that I'm not happy to see you, but what are you still doing in town?”
“| finished up my semester at school,” he explained as he helpedtake the groceries inside. “I'm staying with
Ava for the summer.”
“If you need help finding a summer job, | could definitely help you,” | offered as we walked toward the kitchen.
“That would be great! | was thinking...”
But | didn’t hear the rest of Aiden’s sentence. Because | stopped in my tracks when | saw the person sitting on
the couch looking like he was right at home.
Alexander.
My eyes widened with shock.
He smirked atand stood from the couch to helpwith the grocery bags in my hands.
“Hi, there,” he said. “I forgot to mention that | was invited to Ava’s for dinner, too.”
As he bought the bags into the kitchen where Ava was cooking, | glared at him.
