By the tWayne strolled out, | was already leaning against my car, waiting. He'd savedfrom that
trainwreck of a meeting, and | wasn't about to ball without a proper thanks. "Waiting to say thank you?" Wayne
smirked, all smug.
| grinned. "If you hadn't stepped in, I'd probably be in the hospital right now."

"Nah, I'm drowning in work. I'll swing by to see your parents sother time," | said.
Wayne gavea faint smile but didn't push it. Just then, Demi cjogging over, a little out of breath, holding
a phone. "Mr. Wayne, Keira."
She grinned, holding it out to me. "Keira, it's the newest model."
Great. | shot Wayne a look, and he just shrugged. "You're not seriously gonna turn down a phone, are you? You
need one."
Demi reached out. "C'mon, hand over your broken one. I'll get the SIM switched and set it up."
| ignored her, focusing on Wayne. "Wayne, I've got a backup. Don't need this."

He'd broken up with me, so why show up in the middle of the night? | had zero-clue.
But from the look on his face, he definitely wasn't here for a reunion.
