Chapter 10

Emma

“I’m not bothered about doing anything, Em. After what Callum did, it doesn’t feel right.”

“Your birthday has fuck all to do with Callum or what he did, and I’m not going to say it again. You are 18 tomorrow, Emily. It’s a huge birthday. You may even find your mate, and we’re not letting it pass by without celebrating. End of discussion!”

I arranged for Emily and me to be paired during training this morning, so I could talk her into celebrating her 18th birthday tomorrow. It was a favor to Savannah because Emily wouldn’t listen to her, but I agree with Savannah and I mean every word I say to Emily. She’s not Callum, and I’m not going to stand by while she ruins her big day over someone who’s not even here anymore.

“Are you two training or talking?” Levi’s voice breaks through our chat, but I don’t miss the amused look on his face.

“We’re talking.” Emily bites back a giggle that Levi doesn’t miss.

“More training, less talking ladies.” h
