Chapter 36

• Austin sat inside the car, his face twisted in anger. He took a deep breath and answered the phone, trying to compose himself. "Hey, Dad," he said, trying to sound normal.
• His dad's excited voice was on the other end of the line. "Austin, I just talked to your girlfriend, Sara. She's lovely. I had no idea you were seeing someone."
• Austin's eyes widened in surprise, and he glanced at Sara, who was watching him with a smug expression. He felt a surge of anger towards her, but he tried to keep his cool.
