Tallon was in the front seat of the black SUV when we came out. The window was down, and his arm hung out the door as he waved to us casually.
“Hey.” He grinned. “Care to take a ride?”
I chuckled, rolling my eyes as Giovani completely ignored him and opened the backseat door. I stepped inside, buckling up. Once everyone was inside, buckled, and ready to go, Gabriele started the car.
The bubbling excitement in the pit of my stomach nearly tripled in size as I grinned widely.
“Excited?” Giovani chuckled.
“Of course, I can’t wait to see her and finally have her home,” I told him happily. There was nothing else I wanted more in the world than my best friend back.
Having been through this several times now, the ride went by fairly quickly as each of us got lost in our own heads.
