CHAPTER 53

  PERCIE

  After my confession last night, it was the space between us as I started driving away from her was the hardest thing I had to endure.

  She waved goodbye one more time before she walked towards the door of her parents’ house.

  My phone buzzed as I pulled to the main road. It was a call from Remy. I suddenly remember what Grandpa told me before Hailey and I left.

  “Sup?”

  “Are you up to watch a game?”

  “Where?”

  “Playground.”

  “It’s today?”

  “Yeah. Where the hell have you been?”

  “I went to see Grands.”

  “Oh, I see.”

  “Are you coming?”

  “Be there in ten.” I steered the car to the campus road.”

  “Is Hailey coming?”

  “Nope. I just sent her home. Why?”

  “Thought the girls are gonna join.”

  A small smile curved up my lips. “You mean if Queen Victoria is joining? Why don’t you just call or chat with her? Or however, you guys communicate these days?”
