Trouble in Paradise
Trying to keep things light, I probed, "There's a really bright star next to the moon. Can you see it?"
However, Pete quickly changed the subject. "Ariana, let's video call."
My heart skipped a beat. Video call? That seemed like an intimate gesture reserved for romantic partners. I had never video-called a man just for a chat before, not even Nicholas.
"I can't see the star. Let's video call, and you can help me find it," he said, sounding disappointed.
Pete seemed to be in a sour mood today. Perhaps work wasn't going well for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be out so late.
