All things considered, I was happy to hear that it didn't sound relationship related. Kira and Leona were most likely contending about legitimate skirt length once more. I swear, on the off chance that I didn't know those two had been companions since kindergarten, I'd think they detested each other. In any case, I knew better. Stricken Kittens didn't despise. We resembled sisters.

I tucked the telephone into the hooligan of my neck and tottered to the cooler, coming to over Aiden's twisted around edge to snatch an ice pack from the cooler.

"I would have gotten that for you," he stated, taking the pack from my hands to mollify it up before giving it back. "You don't need to do everything yourself, Tess—like driving another person's cheer rehearse." He deliberately said that last piece somewhat louder.
