Scott

I’ve never been so terrified in my life. I’ve spent three hours scouring every place I could think of. The shops Lacy’s been helping with promotions. Her old apartment building. The coffee place she loves down the street but refuses to let me get her drinks from because she doesn’t want to be a kept woman. After I exhausted all the places I knew she’d visited over the past few months, I started just wandering around, hoping like hell I would find her.

Thank god she called and asked me to pick her up. I take the stairs two at a time up to the apartment of her so-called friend. Lacy’s told me all about the speech her friend gave her, and I’m not sure I like this girl all that much. Who dumps their friend for a date? Sure, Lacy can be a brat, but she’s also so much more than that. I’ve only known her a relatively short time, and I can already see that.

Finally, I skid to a stop in front of the door and pound on it. Lacy swings the door open, and we both collapse in on each other. Holding her is the most natural thing I’ve ever experienced. As if I’m made to wrap my arms around her.

“I’m so sorry I ran. I panicked.” Lacy’s crying against my chest, and her tears damn near rip my beating heart from my chest.

“What happened, Lace? I can’t fix it if you can’t tell me.” I pull back, cupping her gorgeous, tear stained face gently in my hands.

“Scott, you can’t fix this. I promise I’ll tell you, but I just poured the whole story out to Marci, and I can’t do it again right now.” Her hands come up to grip my wrists, the she pulls my hands away a kisses one palm then the other. “But I promise, I will tell you everything.”

That will have to do for now, so I simply nod and check her over. “What happened to your foot?”

Lacy giggles a little. “I remembered why I never go barefoot anywhere. Cut my foot on the way up the stairs.”

“You two wanna come in? Micah is on his way with food.” A curvy redhead appears behind Lacy with a smile on her face. “Hi, I’m Marci.”

We shake hands, and she starts to give me that look, one signaling she’s trying to place where she knows me from. This can’t happen right now. I cannot be recognized and outed before I even have a chance to come clean to Lacy.

“We should get going, get you home and rested.” I wrap my arm around Lacy’s shoulder and squeeze her to my side.

With wide, pleading eyes, Lacy pulls me closer to the apartment. “Can we please stay just a little bit. Marci wants to introduce her boyfriend to Veronica Mars, and I haven’t watched it since college. Have you seen it? Vintage Kristen Bell.”

I don’t tell her that I have seen it because Geoff briefly dated one
