“Sounds good,” I said, hooking my arm into his. “Lead the way.”

Dad pulled the door open for me and I found myself face-to-face with a shocked Adam DeRís.

“Mr. Rosenberg,” Adam said, avoiding my eyes.

“Nice to meet you, Megan,” he muttered, and started backing away, tripping over himself. “I’m sorry, Mr. Rosenberg, but I’m in a hurry.”

“Don’t worry about him, Dad,” I said, faking a smile. “I’m not bothered.”

But I was lying. Adam’s reaction did bother me. It bothered me so much it hurt.
