22 Chapter 22

I realized I couldn't risk calling Lucy because my sister might overhear, so I pulled out my phone, thinking I'd text her. There were quite a few missed texts on a three-way with Lucy and Emma, and I saw that Milo had called me, too. While I'd spoken to him a few days before, I was still in my crazy state of thinking that Drew's death was no big deal when we talked, so I was eager to call him back to claim I'd been in shock or something.

Noises next door told me Cadence was in her room, but she wasn't particularly loud, and I hoped she'd fall asleep for a little while. After that, I hoped I'd get a chance to talk to her. There was so much going on all of a sudden, and I felt pressed for time, even though I had no idea why.

I checked my texts first. The girls had discovered the car was a Lamborghini Aventador, which cost about $400,000. That number was from Emma, so I knew it wasn't an exaggeration. I almost dropped my phone. Again.
