Wait With Me (Wait With Me, #1)

by Amy Daws

I look up at Lynsey with grave eyes. “It’s a letter from Tire Depot.” “They’ve figured it out.” She gasps and covers her mouth like we just found out one of our friends is a murderer. “Stop being so dramatic!” I screech defensively as my fingers squeeze tightly around the envelope. “You don’t know that they figured it out. This could just be like…junk mail or something. Maybe they’re offering a special on oil changes next week?” “Have they ever mailed you anything like that before?” “No!” I bellow as the realization sinks in and dread washes over me. I look at Lynsey with wide, fearful eyes. “What if this is it?” “What do you mean?” she asks. “What if this is the moment I’ve feared all along? They might be taking my mojo away!” “You don’t know that,” Lynsey defends. Clearly, we both process feelings differently because now we’ve done a one-eighty, and she’s coming up with excuses while I’m circling the drain of despair. “They would have no other reason to send me a letter!” I shriek and inhale a shaky breath. “Damnit,” I growl and tear into the envelope to make my death swift.

Okay...THIS...is an ACTUAL prank that was pulled on me. I nearly DIED when I saw Tires Tires Tires letterhead charging me for "excess consumption of complimentary beverages". In my right mind, I knew it was a prank but I was also TERRIFIED it might be real and my gravy train was over! I still haven't plotted up the perfect payback for my friends that pranked me. But it's coming. ;)
