Caroline’s POV
"Well, well, if it isn’t my favorite little troublemaker remembering her old friends," the voice on the other end teased.
"Theo, darling, I never forget my friends. You guys are like brother, honey! How are you?" Ruby’s eyes sparkled with mischief as she spoke.
"I’m surviving. Just need a woman to comfort me since my buddy took off to that resort on the coast," Theo replied, referencing Jax’s departure.
"Don’t be so dramatic!" Ruby scolded. "But I actually called to tell you something I know will cheer you up."
"Oh really? I’m all ears."
"That fool Joseph really messed up, and Ava is single now," Ruby said.
"No way! Are you serious?"
"Completely serious. Joseph’s out of Ava’s life."
"Ruby, you’re an absolute gem! Gotta run now. We’ll talk later." Theo quickly disconnected.
Within minutes, Ava’s phone rang. She showed us the screen before answering,it was Theo. She put it on speaker:
"Theo? This is unexpected. Everything okay?"
"Beautiful Ava, I’m absolutely miserable. You know my friend left town, and my wolf is going crazy with loneliness..." Theo said dramatically.
"Theo, what can I do to help?" Ava asked.
"Some company would be wonderful. But, I don’t want to cause any tension with Joseph," Theo spoke casually, as if testing waters.
"Don’t worry about him. Joseph is history, we’re done," Ava stated firmly.
"Oh, Goddess above. Are you alright? Did that idiot hurt you?"
"Like you said,he’s an idiot. But I’d rather not talk about him."
"Would you consider having lunch with me? We could spend the afternoon together." Ava glanced at us, and we were all nodding.
"I’d love that. Where should I meet you?"
"I’ll come get you, beautiful. Where are you now?"
"At Caroline’s apartment. I’ll text you the address."
"I’ll be there in fifteen minutes. "
When Ava ended the call, we all burst into laughter. Theo had been smitten with Ava since the first moment he’d seen her.
"Carrie, are you sure you don’t mind me bailing on helping?" Ava asked, suddenly concerned.
"Of course not. Go enjoy yourself with Theo and tell us everything later. Have fun," I encouraged her.
After Ava went downstairs to meet Theo, Nate came into the living room for another box and asked why Ava was leaving with Theo.
