Guilty Pleasure
A group video call flashed on the screen—Sofia, Killian, David, James, all piled in and screaming, “Happy birthday, El!”
Elena couldn’t help but laugh.
They talked for the next fifteen minutes straight, laughing, squealing, exaggerated gasps, teasing, mimicking each other with ridiculous impressions.
When Sofia tried to imitate his smirk, David fake-gagged. “That look could make milk curdle.”
“Or hearts melt,” James winked.
Elena rolled her eyes. “Okay, calm down.”
“Doesn’t matter!” Sofia grinned.
After they dropped off one by one, Avonlea stayed on the screen, lying sideways with a suspiciously smug look.
