Chapter 87

All right. In the realm of weird, this ranked high. Jason had been knocking on Ella's door for five minutes with no response. He'd tried texting her and had also gotten zilch by way of reply. Brief as their interactions have been, she was always quick to answer his messages. Considering all the hype about tonight from the town, he doubted she'd forgotten.

He sighed, glancing down the hall. Perhaps she was in the shower or whatever.

The door to the apartment behind him opened and he turned, finding Brent and Miles. "Hey, you guys don't happen to know where Ella is, do you?"

"She left fifteen minutes ago to meet you." Miles's brows furrowed. "We were over there helping her get ready. She walked out the same time as us."

Crap. Jason ran a hand through his hair. "Maybe we got our wires crossed. We didn't exactly have a set plan, but I thought we agreed not to meet at Le Italy." In fact, he swore they'd said to ride over together.
