Chapter 16

"So, Proms next weekend." I balance my phone between my ear and my shoulder blade. Talking on the phone while cooking dinner is proving to be a difficult task.

"You know, I heard that somewhere."

I catch the humor in his voice over the phone.

"Well, should we finalize our plans?" I find myself grinning for the hundredth time this week. I toss some herbs into the soup and continue stirring.

"I'm thinking we can do an early dinner before heading to the dance. Would that be alright with you?"

"I love that." The soup scent starts waft throughout the kitchen making my mouth water.

"Do you know if Brandon and Kayla plan on joining us to make it a group thing?"

"Actually, I'm not sure. I'll text Kayla in a bit and find out."

I check the clock. I realize I'm quickly running out of time to get dinner finished and the mess cleaned up before a nuclear bomb goes off.
