The yearning to learn more, to understand, was nearly overwhelming. So was the desire to see Kace again.“Oh my God, just freaking call the guy!” Vera snapped as she strolled into the kitchen already changed back into her PJs.She opened the fridge door and pulled out a Mountain Dew. One of these days she was going to start sweating that crap and then have kidney failure or something. I didn’t think I’d ever seen her drink a glass of water.I took a deep breath. “Are you going to be okay hanging out here by yourself?”“Why, where are you going to ask him to take you…parking?” She laughed and then took another swig of her sugar death.“No.” I rolled my eyes. “But maybe for a coffee or something.”“I’m a big girl. I’m probably gonna hit the hay soon anyway. My hangover isn’t officially over just yet. I’m exhausted.” She sauntered out of the kitchen, Mountain Dew in hand. “Now why don’t you be a big girl and call the guy!” she called over her shoulder.I stifled a grin.
