“Between your legs?”
“I was gonna say when you kiss me but yes, between my legs too.”
“Okay, we’ve gotta change the subject or I’m gonna have to ask you to have FaceTime sex with me again.”
“I can do that.”
“I know you can, and I may just take you up on that in a little while, but tell me about your evening first. Are you worn out from all the pool maintenance and mowing?”
“Not too badly.”
“I hate that you have to do all that by yourself. I’d do every bit of it for you if I were there.”
“No you wouldn’t, because I’d be right beside you helping. We’d make a great team.”
“We already do.”
I smiled. “Yeah, we do. Hey, I wanna tell you about something that happened while I was mowing.”
“Okay.”
“I was in the front yard when a sporty red Audi stopped on the street directly in front of my house. The windows were tinted so I couldn’t see who it was. Only a silhouette of a woman. I thought she might be lost and was gonna ask me for directions but she just kept sitting there, so I got off my mower to see what the problem was but the woman sped off before I could reach her. It was really strange. And I wanted to get the license plate number on the car, but there wasn’t one. Anyway—I felt like I should tell you about what happened.”
“May I call you back in a minute?”
“Sure.”
“Okay, thanks.”
While I was waiting, I pictured Malcolm walking into his daddy’s room again and seeing him on the phone. If that was what had just happened, I guessed he hadn’t asked Zac if he was talking to me again or asked to talk to me himself. I wished he would have. I hadn’t talked to Malcolm on the phone since that one evening. He’d asked Zac about me a few times since then but that was it.
“Hey, you,” I said, answering Zac’s call. “Everything okay? Did Malcolm wake up?”
“No, he’s still asleep.”
The change in Zac’s tone of voice was very apparent and it concerned me.
“What’s wrong?”
“After you described that car and how the driver was acting, I checked to see where Avery was.”
“Why?”
“Because she drives a sporty red Audi with tinted windows.”
I gasped. “What the hell, Zac?”
“Don’t worry. She’s still in Lubbock. I just checked the app.”
“Are you a hundred percent certain she’s still in Lubbock?”
“Yes. And I apologize for getting off the phone a few minutes ago. What you told me about that car in front of your house threw me for a loop.”
I sighed. “It did for me too, and so has finding out that Avery has the same kind of car. What are the odds?”
“Stevie, it’s only a coincidence.”
“Thank God that’s all it is.”
