“I met his family.”

“YOU DID?! Holy crap, Paige, is your life completely perfect now?”

“You’re nothere yet, so no. And I got fired.”

“What?! You two couldn’t keep it in your pants and got caught, didn’t you?”

She knows me too well. “Kind of.”

“Oh, Paige.” She sighs and my heart clenches—she sounds like Mom.

“I honestly don’t think it’s going to stick. Adam is going to help me fix it.”

I crane my neck to look back at the doors of the arena, hoping to see him walking towards me.

“Oooh, big strong man coming to your rescue? I didn’t peg you as the damsel in distress kind.”

I snort. “No, I’m the damsel without a job who is not too proud to let someone help me. Regardless of whether that person has the most perfect penis on the planet. He does, by the way. It’s magic.”

“Gross.”

“I told you there were things you wouldn’t want to know.”

“Fine, you win. What else is new?”

“Well ... I’m moving in with him.”

“WHAT?!”

“Ow, eardrums, Lee.”

“Paige Elizabeth Harrison, you are moving in with a boy and didn’t tell me! How is Q taking it?”

“Q likes Adam more than me,” I pout.

“Is it because he cooks better than you?”

“Okay, why do I bother calling you when you clearly already know everything about my life.”

“It’s a big sister thing. I’ve known you literally every second you’ve been alive.”

“Fine, then tell me, big sister, how are you?” I switch the topic, hoping she doesn’t ask me more questions.

“I’m fine. Packing by myself is hard.”

Unbelievable. “Oh no, don’t you dare complain to me about it. How many times did you yell at me that I was doing it wrong?”

“Well, you were!”

I shake my head. “It’s your own fault. How’s Levi?”

“Levi is perfect.”

“I can’t wait to see you guys.”

“Hopefully you won’t be jobless when we get there, but at least you won’t be homeless.”

“Wait until you see our house, Leah, it’s so perfect.”
