Chapter 51: CHAPTER 51 It's Fine

It was almost 4 pm when Adam and Ann arrived at Lexi's nondescript little house. Ann knocked and smiled reassuringly at Adam as he looked around at his surroundings dubiously.

"Are you nervous?" Ann asked with what she hoped was a reassuring smile.

"No," He answered a little too quickly as Ann squeezed his hand gently.

Adam sighed heavily and ran his free hand through his hair again.

"Okay, maybe a little. I feel like we've been pushed into this…" he started hesitantly before the door was flung open and Lexi's beaming face appeared in the doorway.

"Bestie!" She shrieked, throwing her arms around Ann and throwing me a wink. "Gosh, it feels like forever since you were here last. Look at you now, bringing a hot hunk of man meat along with you." She sighed dramatically and placed a hand on her chest. "I'm so proud."

Ann swatted her on the arm playfully and laughed as she blushed slightly.

"Behave. You'll scare him away before we've even started."
