Chapitre 30: Chapter 30: Dinner and Dessert

Before I know it, we pull up to Jade Landing, Centerburg’s only gated community. I was briefly friends with someone in high school who lived in this neighborhood, but I’d never been in before.

They have a guardhouse and cameras checking license plates.

I quickly tap out a text to Hannah.

[To: Hannah bestie

I immediately get a response.

[From: Hannah bestie

|I NEED TO MEET HIM

|use protection. Have a safe word.

|Mine’s waffles, u can borrow it.

I sigh at the quadruple text.

[To: Hannah bestie

[6:29 pm

|Dw, you’ll meet him soon

|I always do, & keep ur safeword

|love ya girlie.

I put my phone down and see that Donovan is on his phone, mouth tugged down into a frown. I guess he isn’t on Sparkleaf.

“Everything okay?” I ask, noting how his brow is furrowed just like when he learned we’d be going to different universities.
