Chapter 63

Kelsea

“Thanks for coming out with me tonight.” I glance over at Stella. “I know you’re tired and you didn’t really feel like it, so thank you.”

Darren had ended up asking to stay at my brother’s for dinner, which allowed me to have a girls’ night.

“You know I’m always up to have a good time with you, Kels. Even if sometimes I’m not feeling great, don’t ever think you can’t ask me to come out with you. Speaking of, I can’t believe you and Nick haven’t decided to put a name on whatever it is you two have. I’d like to kick his ass,” she growls as she comes to a stop sign. “If he doesn’t know what he has with you, he’s a dumbass.”

“Trust me,” I laugh. “I wanna kick his ass too, but I have to believe he’ll get a wake-up call. I mean, if we end up being able to adopt Darren, we’ll have to deal with each other for the rest of our lives.” For some reason I almost cry at the thought.
