Shoving my phone back in my bag, I ignore the buzzing that starts and beam at a patient Leanne, telling myself I won’t let Ethan ruin my night. “So, what do you do, Leanne?”
Her laugh is filled with amusement. “Oh, that’s a long and complicated question. Let’s just say I tinker with computers.”
Fucking fantastic. Something to remind me of Ethan. Still, I remain tuned in as Leanne explains she’s the CEO of a company that does contract work for the US government. Still, I have to admit I’m grateful when Austyn rescues me so we can dance.
I leave my purse behind because the buzzing hasn’t stopped.
Not once.
CHAPTER THREE
ETHAN
Two Years Later—Seven Virtues, North Carolina
An enormous smile creases my face.
Ethan:
I still can’t believe you managed to graduate from a school called Seven Virtues.
Fallon:
Really? Are we still doing this?
Ethan:
Virtuous is the last thing you are, Fal.
Fallon:
It takes one to know one, E.
Ethan:
Hmm. That it does, witch. ;)
Ethan:
What time is graduation tomorrow?
Fallon:
Six.
Ethan:
What are you doing until then?
Fallon:
Working. I picked up a shift at the bar.
Ethan:
Are you kidding?!?!
