Tucker wanted to chat with Principal Norman after Brittany and Faith headed back to class. I wanted a break from the stuffy room, so I step into the hallway just outside the front office. But I still need more air.

I’m just heading outside when I hear a familiar voice. “Ags, wait up.”

Dorothea. The podcaster. I’m not sure I can handle a conversation with her right now, but I’m also not sure I have a choice. There’s a guy reluctantly walking behind her. “This is Elliot. The one I was telling you about. He didn’t believe that I met you. I’ve been known to embellish reality occasionally.”

“Hi, Elliot,” I say after he gives me an I’d-rather-be-anywhere-else-right-now look.

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Maynor.”

“Just Aggie, please.”

“Have you listened to the podcast yet?” Dorothea is nothing if not persistent.

“No, not yet.”

“No problem. What about my offer? Have you decided if you want to do an interview?”

“I’m going to pass on that. It’s a little too much for me right now.”

“Legit. I can’t even imagine.” She motions back to the school. “This place is a lot to deal with, and I don’t have trauma from it yet.”

Tucker exits the building, and Dorothea shifts her attention to him before he even reaches us. “Were you here to interview Brittany?” Whirling back to me, she says, “I guess you’re the only person who can comprehend how she feels.”

Unfortunately.

“Did Principal Norman give you my credentials? I spoke with him this morning and asked him to vouch for me. He listens to the podcast, so he knows how resourceful it can be. Did he mention it?”

“No, he didn’t.”

“I’m sure he will whenever you ask him about me.”

Dorothea isn’t anywhere close to being done, but Elliot steps beside her. “We need to get to class.”

“Yeah. Okay.” She gapes at Elliot. “Do you believe me now?” she asks, pointing at me.

“Yes, Dorothea. Let’s get to class.” He huffs and they walk away.

They’ve taken at most five paces when she calls over her shoulder, “Invitation is always open for you, Aggie.”

Tucker and I watch as Elliot and Dorothea enter the school building. Tucker lets out an amused chuckle. “She’s a character.”

“That she is,” I say as we head to his truck. When he opens my door, I stop and face him directly. “Thank you for helping her. It means more to her … and to me … than you know.”

“My pleasure.” Between his captivating eyes and charismatic grin, I have to look away. The seventeen-year-old me is grateful to the man he is. The current me is terrified he’s too good to be true.
