FORTY-EIGHT

RAVEN

I glanced around,all covert-like before I tapped a message on my phone.

Me

This is a 9-1-1. I’m in dire need of my bestie.

I mean, I needed to tellsomeone, and she was the only one I could really trust, and really, she was the only one I wanted to tell. The one who just got me in every way.

And I really, really needed to squeal about this.

Her response was almost instant.

Charleigh

Are you in trouble?

My fingers flew across the screen.

Me

If you mean am I in trouble because of a six-foot-five hunk of a man, then absolutely yes.

Charleigh

Oh crap. You’re definitely in big, big trouble.

Me

Oh, it’s big, all right.

I could almost hear her splutter from across the miles.

Charleigh

I did notneed the vision.

Me

Karma, baby ;)

Charleigh

You’re cruel…and also lucky River isn’t standing over my shoulder.

Me

Like I don’t trust you to keep all our conversations in confidence.

Charleigh

True. But this one is…delicate.

I took in a deep breath.

Me
