Chapter 57

“I will be back soon,” I said when I answered.

“No, it’s fine. I got someone in to cover you. I figured you were concussed, but Zoe isn’t answering, and I am on tonight, and mum has hurt her knee again, so she can’t watch both girls. Can you and Valen please, please, come to get Casey for the night?”

“What do you mean Zoe isn’t answering? Did you knock on the door?”

Macey cleared her throat before speaking in a hushed voice. “I did, but I don’t think she could hear me over all the showering sounds coming from the house,” she hissed. I snorted. Who would have thought?

“They are like damn rabbits. I have been up there twice now, and I swear my ears are bleeding. Anyone would think we are running a brothel with the noises leaving your apartment,”

“What’s a brothel, Aunty Macey?” I heard Casey asked in the background.

“Ah, a place where people get foot massages,” Macey answers awkwardly. Valen chuckles but turns the car around, hearing her.
