Epilogue 2
“You have reached the voice mail of Julie Parson. Please leave a message.”
Who the heck is Julie Parson? I hang up and add more coins to the bus station pay phone. I doublecheck to make sure that I dial the right number, pressing each button carefully
“You have reached the voice mail of Julie Parson. Please leave a message.
Did Lizzie change her number? I add more coins, using four of my last eight quarters to dial home. I can always hang up if anyone but Lizzie answers.
“We’re sorry. You have a reached a number that has been disconnected…”
I slam the phone down on its holder and take a deep breath. Okay, Hailey, stick to the plan. There has to be a reasonable explanation for my family’s phone numbers not working.
Going inside the bus terminal, I head to the ticket window. An older woman who looks like she’s seen better days greets me.
I give her my best fake smile. “How much for a one-way ticket to Fallen Brook, North Carolina?”
Hailey is back! Old Elizabeth is back. Are you ready? Their story continues in Fallon (Fallen Brook High School YA Romance Series, Book 3).
