“Yeah. Send me a pic and any info you have.”

I forgot to ask Vivian for a picture. It was too late to bother her now.

“I’ll send it to you tomorrow via email.”

“Great. Thanks.”

Our conversation ended, and I went into my bedroom to get ready for bed. Was Vivian thinking of me as I was thinking of her?

Then my phone rang, and my brow furrowed at the name on the screen.

CHAPTERSIXTEEN

“Why are you still up, Kaylee?”I glanced at the clock that had just ticked to midnight.

“You said to call.”

“I was expecting a call sometime tomorrow.” I’d texted her earlier, before my trip to Boston.

“But I’m busy tomorrow.”

I swiped to the robotics agenda in my email, and it wasn’t packed. But I left that detail out.

Leaning back against the headboard, I said, “You planned it, didn’t you?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

I rolled my eyes. “Your dating app. You asked me to test out Heartstrings.”

“I asked a bunch of people.”

I could almost hear her smile on the other end.

“Are you trying to set me up with your sister?”

“How’s the chat going?” She giggled, excitement filling her voice.

I knew it!“I could twist your arm for this.”

“That’d be considered child abuse, and I’d have to report you to the authorities. But Vivian would have already gotten to you first.” She paused. “Just as a warning, the police will be kinder to you.”

Christ.

She sounded so serious. “You know I’m joking, right?”

She laughed. “You know I’m joking too, right?”

I couldn’t help but smile.“How old are you again?”

“Thirteen going on thirty. That’s what Viv always says.”

Kaylee would be a force to be reckoned with when she got older.“You’re not spying on our conversation, are you?”

“No!”

I had already blocked that ability. She was creating the app that was being supported bymyserver. So I had access to everything. A team of people was dedicated to teaching and helping young kids amplify their talents. But kids often did unimaginable things, so this program had to be monitored closely. I’d been more involved in Whiz Kidz until the recent months when my concentration had gone to The Trogyn and the fucking asshole who stole my wine.
