Chapter 17

Lucas had dropped me off back at home. I invited him to come inside but he declined, saying he had to find a hotel and also wanted to get in touch with Nicholas. I wished he’d invited me to go with him, but the truth was I’d been ignoring my phone almost the entire day and I needed to touch base with Henry.

“You should invite your friend to dinner,” my mom said when I got home.

I stifled a laugh. “He decided to drive back home,” I told her. “He said to tell you thanks for your hospitality.”

“So where did you two go today?” my mom asked me.

“Uh, just the mall,” I fibbed.

“Well, you might want to call Henry; he texted me earlier and asked if everything was okay. He’s been trying to get in touch with you all day,” my mom said lightly.

“You didn’t tell him I was out with Lucas, did you?” I asked shrilly.

“Calm down.” My mom laughed. “I was your age once, too, you know. I’m not stupid.”

“What did you say then?”

“Just that I’d try to get a message to you to call him. I guess you didn’t read my text, either, huh?”

I laughed guiltily. “I must have accidentally turned the ringer off.” Truth was, I had purposely put my phone in silent mode.

“I’ve got to go call Henry back,” I said, heading for the stairs. “I hope I didn’t cause you guys too much worry.”

“After what Lucas has done to help you, I didn’t expect you’d get into any trouble,” my mom said.

Only because you’ve got no idea what’s really going on with Bartholomew and Thomas and Henry’s father. I just smiled, glad that someone wasn’t worried 24/7.

“But please check your phone when you’re out,” she continued. “I’ve always trusted you, and I know you’re technically supposed to be seventeen now, but I still want to know where you are, and that you’re okay.” Mom paused. “And, please, Rory, be careful.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean,” she said, “that both Henry and Lucas seem like nice boys and I’d hate for either of them to get hurt.”

“They won’t!” I said a little more harshly than I meant to. I turned and kept walking up the stairs. Secretly, I wasn’t so sure.
