He frowned tightly and muttered, âYouâre welcome.
â
In an effort to break the tension, I quickly changed the topic.
âCaleb, what deal did you make with Harlan just now?â
âI wanted him to admit that you two are a fake couple.

When I was about to reject him, he continued, âIf you refuse, Iâll drive home at full speed.

âFine, Iâll drive you home.
â Worried that Caleb would get into an accident from driving under the influence, I ended up choosing to compromise.

My heart leaped to my throat.
I quickly patted my pockets.
Oh, crap! The photo Elena had picked up in the kindergarten wasnât there!
After putting Elena to sleep just now, I slipped the photo into my pocket.

God! Why was I so unlucky? Staring at the photo in Calebâs hand, I racked my brains for a good excuse.
