Chapter 142 Slow

• CADE AND Aiden took things slow. Very slow. So slow Aiden was pretty sure they’d actually stalled. Stalled in a good place, he had to admit. Being friends with Cade was great.
• They set up a routine of having lunch together on Saturdays and Sundays, and usually on Sundays Aiden could convince Cade to take the afternoon off and do something fun with him. Hikes, movies, even going to the occasional football game. Cade sometimes got a worried look, as if he was trying to calculate exactly how to make up for all the study hours he was wasting, but mostly he seemed to have a good time. And Aiden started going to the engineering library on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons after classes. Cade would join him for a couple hours of work, and then they’d get dinner somewhere.
• Aiden tried to pay for their meals, but Cade wouldn’t let him.
