Me
LOL!
Gino was right. There wasn’t a single shopper in sight, and I knew no one would be going out in this weather. I tossed down my phone and went to the front door. I flipped the sign to Closed and locked the door. I switched off the light outside and turned back to the counter.
I grabbed my phone and noticed a missed call from Kason. He hadn’t left me a voicemail, but I texted him.
Me
What’s up?
Kason
I was looking for Shay – she wasn’t answering her phone. Thought she might b with u, but she just texted me back.
Me
She good?
Kason
She was studying in the library.
Me
Good girl.
Kason
Heading to the bar. Wanna meet us?
Me
Who’s us?
Kason
Me and Jesse. Thayer’s out with Masie.
My stomach turned over. And, while I knew I should’ve been happy for him, deep down I knew why I wasn’t.
Me
Thanks but I’m gonna head home. Drive safe.
