At the end of the day right after their last class was over, Leah took Lucy aside. "Could you do me a favor?"
"What?"
"So, um," Leah turned around to see if Aiden had come but surprisingly had not. Their class had been dismissed ten minutes early, so that gave her a little bit of advantage.
She turned back, "Could you tell my mother that I am in the library completing some assignment? Make up the details yourself and then text me about it."
Lucy narrowed her eyes. "Are you going to sneak away with your beau?"
If she could facepalm herself at the moment, she would. Nevertheless, since she did need Lucy's help, she noted. "Yes. My beau and I need some time together."
"Okay, then. I will send you an audio of what I said." Lucy nodded in farewell before walking ahead and joining the crowd of exiting people.
A hand touched her waist before sneaking around to her stomach and pulled her back to a familiar warm front. Aiden.
