Chapter 15

• “Earth to Lee, earth to Lee.” Maria was waving her hands in front of her. “Hey, where did you go?”
• Lee was thinking of Ash again. She was hoping he was going to show up, but she wasn’t so sure. Maria had called Joe when she was in the bath, setting up a lunch date for the six of them. She wanted to invite Ash and didn’t want Lee within earshot in case he said no. She saw the lasting effect he had on Lee and knew she had to give them another chance with a proper first date with her and Ann in the room to make sure it stayed that way, proper. She was more convinced about her decision because of Lee’s constant dazed status.
• Lee was pissed she hadn’t been consulted, but there wasn’t much she could do about it. She didn’t want to come off as desperate and needy, but there was no denying it, she wanted to see him again.
