My phone buzzed early the following day, but the sun was bright as it streamed through the French doors, illuminating the room. I quickly looked at the clock, and it was nine o'clock. I had overslept. Mom and Ari knew I had a late night, so they must have let me sleep.
Yawning, I opened one eye as I reached for my phone. I checked the caller ID, and it was Declan. I sat straight up, suddenly awake.
“Hello?" I sat up, waiting.
“Good morning, princess! Did I wake you?" He chuckled.
“No, I'm fine," I lied. “So, are you at work?"
“I'm on break," he replied, a smile in his voice. “But I phoned my mother, and she'd like to meet you. Would you mind if I pick you up at five? I told her we'd meet her at six."
I nodded, even though he couldn't see me. “Sure. I'll be ready."
“Great!"
