I glance down and see CONNOR COBALT in big letters. Uh… “Hey, Rose, I’ll have to call you back. We’ll talk more later. Someone’s on the other line.” “Lo? You’re seriously going to hang up on me for him right now.” “No, actually it’s—” She gasps. “No. You are not ditching me for Richard.” I laugh at his real first name. “I’ll talk to you later. He probably just wants to know how I did.” “Lily,” she warns. “Bye, Rose,” I say quickly, switching lines. “Hi, Connor.”
