Claire's POV
I sent a quick message to Louis letting him know I was on my way.
His reply came immediately.
L - You couldn't have told me earlier? Caleb would have come to get you.
I smiled without even realizing it. 'It's fine, it's not that far.'
L - You still could have told me.
Me - Alright. Sorry, baby.
I replied, making sure to add a wink.
That did it, because his next message came almost instantly.
L - Sigh. You're killing me, baby.
L - Have fun. Let me know when you're done — Caleb can come get you. I'm at work, but if you need anything, make sure to call me, okay?

Not long after I arrived at the restaurant, Abby pulled into the parking lot. Or rather, Jake did.
I watched as his sleek black SUV rolled smoothly to a stop beside the building, sunlight glinting off the polished hood. The engine hummed softly before falling silent. I made my way over just as Abby climbed out of the passenger seat, her movements stiff and reluctant.
