I had barely finished begging Alicia to abandon her doomed crush when my phone buzzed on the table. It was a message from Rowena, because of course it was. She had an uncanny ability to interrupt at exactly the wrong moment.
Rowena: Where are you?
Me: Rest area. Why?
Rowena: Coming over.
I groaned out loud and rubbed my temples. "Brace yourself, Alicia. The walking disaster is on her way."
Alicia blinked, confused. "Walking disaster?"
"Rowena," I clarified, gesturing at my phone. "You know, my sister. The one you have a crush on."
Alicia's face turned bright pink. "I didn't—! I mean—!"
"Relax," I said with a smirk. "She's used to people fawning over her. Just… don't encourage her."
