Chapter 77 - Being There

Lucas boarded the second train, settling into a seat by the window. The hum of the carriage and the faint chatter of other passengers created a subtle background noise as he sank into his thoughts. Pulling out his phone, he noticed a YoChat notification from Cindy.

Cindy: "Hey, Lucas, when are you getting home?"

He smirked slightly, typing back: "On my way now, almost there. Why?"

The reply came almost instantly, and when Lucas opened it, his eyes widened slightly. Cindy had sent a photo—her thigh, barely covered by a thin layer of fabric, the angle teasingly deliberate.

Cindy: "Just thought I'd give you a little reward for your existence. Maybe you'll get a pic of my ass next time… after you 'pay your dues.' 😉"
