Quote of the Day
While you're up there, grab the plates." I leaned over to turn off the oven. "I'll take it from here. Thanks."
Cortez nodded. "I'll wash up."
Savannah watched him leave, then jumped from the counter and scurried to my side.
"He was asking about Adam," she said in a stage whisper.
I took the foil off the lasagna. "Hmmm?"
"Lucas. He was asking about Adam. You and Adam. I came in, you were gone, he said you were on the phone, so I checked call display on my phone and told him it was Adam. Then I said you'd be a while because you guys, like, talk forever, and he said, 'Oh, so they're pretty good friends,' or something like that."
"Uh-huh." I sliced into the middle of the lasagna, making sure it was cooked through. "I think the lettuce is wilted, but could you check it for me?"
"Paige, I'm talking to you."
"And I heard you. Lucas asked if Adam was a friend."
"No, he didn't ask if he was a friend. Well, yes, he did, but he meant, you know, is Adam a friend. He wasn't just asking, he was asking. Get it?"
I frowned over my shoulder at her. Cortez walked into the kitchen. Savannah looked at me, threw up her hands, and stomped off to the bathroom.
"Mood swings?" Cortez asked.
"Communication breakdown. I swear, thirteen-year-old girls speak a language no linguist has ever deciphered. I remember some of it, but rarely enough to decode entire conversations."
