Riley.
“Hi, Lil! I was wondering if maybe you would like to come to the Old Crown.”
It’s the next day, and I’ve decided not to dwell on what happened. Instead, I’m going to have a night out—something I haven’t done in a while. That’s why I’ve invited Lilly. I’m also planning on asking Stacy.
“After you ditched me.”
I bite my lower lip; I did do that. “I’m sorry. I just had to get away. I promise I won’t do it again. It’s Bad Santa and they have half-price drinks.”
She can’t resist half-price anything, so when she says, “Half-price, you say? Well, we can't turn that down, can we?” I jump up and down with excitement.
“Okay, come to Mom’s. Bring everything you’re going to wear; we will get ready here.”
“You got it! Give me ten minutes.”
Hanging up the phone, I clap my hands as I jump.
