Before

Chapter Five

My phone rang a thousand times in a way that felt like an eternity. Bored, I took it out of my skirt so I could see Luke Connor\'s name flashing on the screen. Was he caller or something? I had never

seen anyone call every two minutes unless they responded immediately. Not wanting to give him the satisfaction of trying again, I decided to put my phone away. To avoid any distraction! "Luke

again?" Kayla called from behind me. "Isn't he aware I'm at work?"I asked myself out loud as his requested, and sent him my calendar for the week
Then, if he did get it, why was he

trying to call me in the middle of my shift? I wasn’t able to just answer the phone at work. I might have been able to but I’m not telling him that. \"How excited are you?\" Kayla asked with a smile as

she set down tea bags on the table. \"He\'s such a good-looking man,\" I replied thinking back to his comment about my boobs; Did he really have any sense at all?
Apparently, he was aware of how

mortifying that was. I nervously looked down at my shirt, checking to see if any buttons had popped off - only to realize that sellers can't make clothing small enough for larger bust sizes. That should have

never been mentioned in the first place. My cheeks were getting hot with embarrassment as Kayla stared at me curiously. I'm sure he was trying to be nice when he asked me out; however it might not

have gone over so well... "Ah, I'm so embarrassed." She was laughing as she pushed the tea bags underneath the counter one box at a time. "Why?" "He's so sweet and kind," she said right away. During

all that time you spoke, he was here to keep me company. He's funny too. I never knew much about Luke, but he seemed like a good guy. But I always had a sense that something wasn't quite right with

him - maybe it was his flirting with Kayla? "Don't get too emotionally attached to him." She nodded and let out a small sigh. It wasn't a contest for rich girls, anyway. As for the money, probably not, but as for

the appearance she had started off with pretty well. She always had this beauty about her. not even she realized it herself, but it was part of his appeal ~ At least I don't have a thing for your brother any more. "It

would be strange to have a crush on someone with them not on this earth anymore," she said, laughing but the laughter soon vanished. "But he should be here." I thinned my throat and continued to put

away the tea bags People often feel like they've lost someone or something for a long time before actually realizing that the time has flown by. For me, it feels as though Jeremy had been gone for an entire

year even though it only technically has been a month since he died. I miss him so much and can't believe how quickly the time went by without him around.
Think of how much money you will

have when Jeremy\'s killer is incarcerated. Millions of dollars! I couldn't help but smile at her. But she knew the case was going to be a tough one. Even then, I didn't quite know what I thought. Yes, perhaps

my brother drank alcoholics drinks and stole cars in the past-yes even while he was intoxicated but i could not believe for one moment that he would steal a car while under the influence causing him to

crash it." He was never one to do that. But according to the surveillance footage at the bar, he often did this. One hand went into my hair, making my head ache. The phone at the diner started

ringing, and I jumped a little; when I looked back at Kayla she was giggling. When I picked up the telephone, it rang again in my other hand! Golden Touch Diner,This is Ella speaking. How can I be of
