Chapter 52

• An hour later, we left the bar. I texted Katherine and Nate that I will be late tonight and told them I would be joining the band for a celebration. I knew that she wouldn’t buy it.

I didn’t want to trigger something again.
• In Luke’s car, it was very quiet, so I turned the stereo on. I thought he was going to react, but he didn’t.
