I opened it.

Heather: Sam, me and Ave wanna talk to you. Can you meet us?

My eyebrows pulled together.

Nesha noticed my face.

“What?”

“Heather and Avery wanna meet me.”

“About what?”

“I don’t know.”

I typed back.

Me: Yeah. I’m at the salon right now with Nesha. I can meet y’all after. Where?

Heather: Meet us at Honey & Sage in Montclair. 12:30.

I checked the time.

11:41.

Me: Okay cool.

I locked my phone.

My phone vibrated again.

For some reason, I expected Heather.

It wasn’t.

Levin: What you doing later?

I smiled before I could stop myself.

Nesha caught it.

“That’s him?”

“Mind your fucking business.”

“Look at you!”

I opened his message.

Me: I have to meet Heather and Avery after I leave here. After that idk.

Three dots appeared.

His response came immediately.

Levin: Come see me after.

I stared at it.
