Char…

Can you check in on Amaya?

CHARLIE

Why would you be asking to check in on her?

What did you do?

She came by the shop and we got into it

Things got heated…

A lie, but not a total lie when you think about it.

I just want to make sure she’s okay.

Seriously, do they pull you all aside at some point and teach you to be assholes? Or does it just come naturally?

I see you talked to Carter’s sperm donor today.

Sorry, I shouldn’t take that out on you.

Mom has Carter. I’ll swing by Amaya’s.

We can wallow in the fact that men are trash together.

Thank you.

I owe you one.

Chapter Eight

AMAYA

“Who does that?” I continue to mutter to myself as I pull my car to a stop in the designated spot for my condo.

I can’t believe I did that…

Rummaging through my purse to find my phone, I open it to read the text messages that came in while I was driving.

JACK

Amaya, if I did something wrong…or something you didn’t want…there are no words to describe how sorry I am.

Can you just let me know that you’re okay?

Fuck…

You really fucked this up.

I’m ok

My fingers roam over the screen.

I don’t know what to say to fix this…

Instead, texting dots start and stop on the screen, but no messages come through.
