“Are you vibrating?”

“Um, what?” I ask looking perplexed at his question.

“I can hear vibrating—is your cell ringing?”

“Oh!” I rummage in my purse lying open at my feet and fish out my phone, careful not to bend too quickly. It’s lit up with Brie’s name blinking at me.

“It’s Brie. I’m gonna take this,” I say putting the phone on speaker.

“Oh my god, you answered!” she squeals. “I’ve tried calling you a bunch today and it kept going to voicemail.”

“Hey, Brie. What’s up?”

“I just wanted to know what time you and that sexy ass boy of yours will be getting back. Jackson and I thought we could come and visit with you if it’s early enough.”

There’s hope in her voice and I realize now that I’ve actually missed her quite a bit. Ethan chuckles faintly at her referring to him as my sexy ass boy, and I smile over at him.

“I don’t know…what time are we going to get back, Boy?” I ask and his voice lowers to a husky drawl.

“Ain’t no boy here, Princess, I’m all man.”

“Oh my god, Blair! Am I on speaker phone?” Brie shrieks as I laugh at the suggestive eyebrow dance he’s doing.

“Yeah,” I answer as Ethan shouts, “Hi, Brie!”

“Dude, that is not cool! You tell a girl before you put her on speakerphone! Jeez, I could have said anything!”

“When has that ever stopped you before?” I smile.

“Ugh, I’m wounded Blair!” She sighs theatrically. I’m sure if I were standing with her right now, she’d have her wrist to her brow; she has a real flair for the dramatic.

“So, seriously though, can we see you guys tonight or not? If you need time to get sorted, or freakeyyyy,” she sings. “We can come by some other time.”

I look at Ethan for confirmation and he answers for me.

“We’ll be back within the hour. Give me time to drop Blair home with her bags so she can see her mom. Then maybe y’all can come over around eight?”

He looks at me for confirmation and I nod as Brie tells him it’s a date and will see us both soon.

“You sure you’re up to this?” I ask, once the call has disconnected.

“Yeah, it’s only Brie and Jackson. It’ll be fine.”

“Okay.” I smile. He’s been quiet and looked pretty down since we left IHOP, maybe seeing a friend will cheer him up a little. I cross my fingers and lean back in my seat, waiting for him to initiate a conversation. He doesn’t; instead he looks like he’s carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders and my heart squeezes a little bit more.
