TOO LATE : CHAPTER 51 – 60
Chapter 55
As if she can read my mind, she says, “I’m sorry anout making out with Luke in your house.
It was necessary, but will never happen again.
Believe me. It’s almost as bad as when I had to kss this one for show,” she says, pointing at Ryan.
Ryan rolls his eyes. “Tillie, Tillie, Tillie,” he says. “That was over a year ago and you still can’t stop thinking about my tongue in your mouth.”
She nods. “Nightmares are hard to overcome.”
I laugh. I instantly like her. I close the door behind me and point to the bedroom. “He’s in his room,” I tell them both.
Ryan glances toward the room and then back at me. There’s something in his expression that concerns me, but he’s trying to hide it with a forced smile. “You mind if we talk to Luke alone?” he asks.
I cross my arm over my stomach and grab my other arm. I look back and forth between him and Tillie. “Does it have to do with Asa?”
I can see Tillie look briefly in Ryan’s direction, her eyes revealing that Asa is exactly what they intend to talk to Luke about.
“I want to know,” I say to them. “If you don’t let me hear what you’re going to tell him, I’ll eavesdrop at the door.”
Ryan doesn’t laugh. His lips tighten together and he just nods. “Fair enough,” he says.
They both turn to walk into Luke’s bedroom and I’m forced to inhale a calming breath.
This doesn’t look good.

Luke POV
I can see Tillie and Ryan making their way into my bedroom, but my eyes are on Sloan.
She’s standing in the living room with her eyes closed, looking like she’s about to be sick.
“What’d you say to her?” I ask Ryan.
Right when I ask him that question, she blows out a rush of air, opens her eyes, stands up straight and walks toward my bedroom.
Ryan shakes his head. “Nothing. She’s insisting on being in here for what I’m about to tell you.”
Sloan is in the bedroom now, leaning against the door, watching as Ryan and Tillie make their way around the room to the couch.
The last thing I want is for Sloan to be involved. If I could have my way, she’d never have to hear Asa’s name again.
But I know we’ve got a long road ahead of us and a lot of court hearings. Possibly even testimonies on stand.
