##Chapter 83: Cassidy
Book Two: Don't Leave
Luke causally drapes an arm around my shoulders, making it clear that we're together. "Not much. How about you?"
A hard glint enters Austin's eyes as he takes in how close Luke and I are standing. "Brook called, so I'm going to take her home." His narrowed gaze shifts to me. "You need a lift home, Cassidy?" He nods his head toward Brooklyn. "Since you're next door, we can drop you off."
Unease blooms in the pit of my belly as I shift, wanting to defuse the thick, suffocating waves of tension that have fallen over the group.
From beneath my lashes, I glance at Luke. At this point, we're just friends, but I'm sure Austin assumes differently. My heart trips, wondering if he'll mention it to Cole.
Just as quickly, I wonder if it matters.
My guess is that it doesn't.
"I'll take her home," Luke replies before tugging me a bit closer.
