Trick Play (Fake Boyfriend Book 2)

“I’m up, I’m up. I’ll be down in five. Gotta go, babe. Love you.”

The phone disconnects, and my heart does that stuttering thing again and gets stuck on the words babe and love you.

Even though he’s already gone, I can’t stop myself from saying, “Love you too.”
