Time Is Money

Lucas, who was sipping from a hot cup of espresso in a cafe not too far from Miley's hotel, combed his fingers through his hair in frustration as he tried not to worry about Miley or feel guilty over the way he had left her. He knew he had hurt her feelings by saying he didn't want to be friends with her, but he believed it was better for him that he left when he still could.

He couldn't afford to worry about someone else right now. Especially not when he had problems of his own to take care of, and one of them involved thinking about what next he wanted to do with his life. 

He glanced at his phone when he received an Instagram notification, and he saw that it was a notification that Miley was doing a live video. He was very tempted to check to see what she was up to, but he stifled the urge.
