Nine
When Atlas opened the door, he started laughing. He pushed it wider, and Remi came into view.
Remi took a step forward and gasped, her eyes wide. She glanced back and forth between Carlee and her brother. âItâs Carlee?â She swatted playfully at his chest. âWhy didnât you just tell me?â
He grabbed her hand. âIt wasnât any of your business yet, nosy.â He stepped to the side. âCarlee needs to talk to you. Please be nice.â
Remi swatted at him again. âSince when have you known me to not be nice?â
âExtra nice then. And if you donât mind, keep her company for a few hours. Iâll talk to Kade and tell him where you are. Donât leave my room.â
âWhy not?â
He narrowed his gaze at her. âDo you always question orders?â
She shrugged. âUsually.â She squirmed next.
He chuckled. âDid you get your ass paddled this morning?â
âNone of your business,â she retorted before squeezing past him and shutting the door.
Carlee pulled her knees up to her chest as she watched her friend shuffle toward her. She wasnât sure where to start, but she decided to go with the obvious. âIâm sorry for my behavior for the past several months.â
Remi came closer and climbed onto the bed. âItâs okay. Iâm sure you had your reasons. I wasnât a very good friend either. Iâve been so wrapped up in Kade that I didnât reach out to you as much as I should have. I was a bad friend. Iâm sorry too.â
âYou have no reason to be sorry, but thank you.â Carlee beamed at her. âAtlas told me youâre with Kade.â
Remi grinned. âYeah. Heâs the best.â
âIâm so happy for you.â
Remi pointed at the pile of packages. âWhatâs all this?â
Carlee smiled. âChristmas apparently. Atlas ordered it. I have no idea what it all is. You can help me open everything.â
Remi clapped her hands together. âHow fun.â She tucked her dark hair behind her ear and licked the edge of her black-painted lips. âSo⦠You and my brother?â
Carlee shrugged. âHe says so, but he hasnât addressed the detail of him leaving. Heâs only here for a month. I need to guard my heart carefully.â
Remi took her hand. âWhy do I suspect itâs already too late for that?â
Carlee sighed. âYouâre probably right.â
âMaybe he wants to take you with him?â
Carlee shrugged again. âI donât belong in the city. This is my home.â
âWell, we donât have to worry about it today. Letâs dig into these packages.â She nearly bounced.
âDo you want me to tell you about the last few months first?â
âNope. You can tell me after.â Remi grinned, her white teeth in stark contrast to her black lipstick. The perfect dark liner around her eyes was stunning on her. It had never been Carleeâs style, but sheâd always thought Remi pulled off the Goth look more than anyone she knew.
Carlee was relieved her best friend didnât seem angry. This wasnât going to go as badly as Carlee had pictured.
Remi held up a random package. âThis one. Do this one first.â
Carlee giggled as she rose onto her knees, nearly bouncing as she took it.
