Chapter 28

"Where's Austin? She's not here," Travis says, looking around for my sister. We agreed to meet at Rick's Café but she is nowhere to be seen.

"She's having a meeting with her manager, something about her 100th pagaent or whatever," Wyndy replies and we nod understandably.

"You wouldn't believe what we found out today," I say, leaning closer to Wyndy.

"I already got all the deets from Austin," she tells me with a smile as she serves us our coffee.

"Oh, but we didn't order any coffee."

"Rick doesn't like it when people don't order something, especially when it's you."

I bring out my wallet to pay but she stops me. "It's on the house."

"You can't keep giving me free coffee everytime I come here."

"I don't have a problem with that."

"I know, it's just that—"

"So you're just gonna reject my coffee?" She sounds more amused than offended.

"Don't do that, man, it's offensive," Travis says to me as he takes a chug from his cup.
