Calls
SADIE
“Can I ask a favor?”
Devin looked at me through the rearview mirror. “Sure?”
“Sure? You mean you’re not sure?” I asked in confusion.
“Well, it depends. If it involves asking permission from your husband or not.”
I sighed in dismay as I looked outside the window. “Never mind.”
“Come on. Give it a try.”
“I wanna spend some time with Zhuri before I start working. Just Zhuri and me walking around in the park, shopping in the mall, or having a cup of coffee in a cafe. Just for a day. Is it too much to ask? I’m not a president’s daughter, for God’s sake.”
“I can be persuasive I’ll give him a call.”
“No!” I gripped his shoulder before he could dial Cenric’s number. “Don’t do that. He’s gonna give me a lecture and tell me I told you not to blah blah blah.”
“Just trust me, okay?”
I looked at him in the eye before he focused back on the road. “Fine.”
