“Hurry! Hurry!” Gabriela jumped into the back of the car, followed immediately by Kyle while Harper slid into the passenger seat. By the time Kyle’s mother clicked her seatbelt, everybody was waiting impatiently. “Come on, mom! We’ll be late!” Kyle complained from the backseat, loosening his tie. His mother muttered something under her breath, starting the car and joining the traffic. “Hey, babe!” Harper chirped excitedly and Gabriela leaned forward just in time to see Theo’s face appearing on Harper’s phone screen. She raised her device so he could see everyone in the car while Asher and Dylan moved behind him, waving. “So?” Theo asked impatiently. “Did we win? Stop keeping us waiting, you bastards!” “Hey, Mrs. Grant is here!” Harper said through gritted teeth. “Sorry Mrs. Grant!”
