Page 30 of Love Unwritten
My aunt promised not to say anything until this weekend, when Nico and I finally attend Sunday lunch after spending the last month filling our time with playdates, so I’m not sure how Lily found out.
I don’t have a chance to consider a list of likely suspects because my phone beeps again.
LILY
Doesn’t matter. Focus on the subject at hand.
DAHLIA
I liked her.
LILY
Me too. She made the best chocolate chip cookies.
DAHLIA
And homemade bread and pasta and pizza. Seriously, the woman has more recipes than Betty Crocker.
LILY
Don’t forget about her pozole. If I didn’t know any better, I would have assumed she was Mexican too because it’s THAT good.
LILY
Dare I say it was better than Josefina’s.
*Lily unsent a message.*
DAHLIA
Slick.
DAHLIA
Too bad I already took a screenshot.
Lily follows up with a water gun emoji pointed at a smiling face.
JULIAN
You two do realize this is a group chat, right?
They both reply with a single “yes” text message.
ME
I can tell you’re both really concerned about why she was fired.
My cousin sends me a private text instead of replying in the group.
JULIAN
I take it that conversation with Ellie went well?
ME
Unfortunately, it was cut short by Nico being rushed to the hospital.
