CHAPTER 23

ICE BREAKERS GROUP TEXT

Lucian

Guys, there’s a food critic coming to interview Neesha at the bookstore at 11. I need you all to show up and act like her cupcakes are the best thing you’ve ever tasted. Make a big deal about them but keep it SECRET. This could be huge for her business.

Asher

SURPRISE PARTY TIME! I’m bringing balloons!

Lucian

NO BALLOONS. Just act casual and buy cupcakes. Then casually mention how good they taste, like you’re a regular customer.

Clément

Ah, so romantic! In France, we would serenade her. Possibly with an accordion. Does anyone own one?

Lucian

Please don’tbring an accordion.

Weston

Wait, what’s happening? I’m confused, but all in! Does Fiona know about this?

Lucian

We probably shouldn’t tell our girlfriends.

Jamie

Too late. Ashlyn already told me she’s free at 11.

Lucian

You already told someone?

Jamie

As soon as you sent the message.

Cade

Me too.

Carson

Me three.

Clément

Me four.

Lucian

What part of SECRET don’t you guys understand?
