(Harry's P.O.V)

"Are we still on for Thursday?" Mckenna asked me, the same way she did every Tuesday night. I took a long drag off my cigarette, the first one I had been able to have since arriving at work. Today was the busiest night we'd had in a few weeks.

"I actually won't be able to this week, unless you want to move it to tonight?" I asked her while passing her my cigarette so she could take a drag or two. Mckenna and I had made every Thursday our date nights, if you could even call us hooking up and occaisionally going out in public together a 'date night'.

Every now and again, she would ask me when I was planning on making her my girlfriend, a topic I did literally everything I could to avoid talking about. It's not that I didn't like her like that, it just. Wasn't fair to use her and make her think I wanted something long-term, just to up and leave her when Eve came home for good. When the time got closer, I had a plan in my head to sit Mckenna down and tell her the truth but I had a feeling that wouldn't be for a while.

"We can probably make it work for tonight, I can leave my car here and ride with you since we both have work in the afternoon tomorrow. We would just have to stop at my house either tonight to let Duke out." I nodded in response and pulled my phone out, noticing it was vibrating in my pocket. It was Eve's dad.

Jeremy: Thursday morning at 6:15am, She'll be landing in Manhatten.

Me: Sounds good. I will be there. I was thinking about bringing her to mine for a few hours just in case she is tired from the flight, that way she can sleep a few hours if need be. That alright with you?

Jeremy: I was thinking the same honestly, Theresa actually agreed and said she was fine with seeing her Friday morning, so you can bring her to our house then okay? I think she needs to see you first, she might not be ready to see Theresa just yet.

Me: Perfect. I am super excited to see her. Been missing her extra recently. I have to make sure this girl I have over stays away for the weekend. Her and Eve know each other and they don't really get along.

Jeremy: Whatever you gotta do buddy. 36 hours left!! Can't wait to see my girl!

The work day flew by and before I knew it, Mckenna and I were sitting on my couch watching South Park with snacks and booze. Her head resting gently on my shoulder as we both got lost in the show, giggling together on occasion.

"Hey, love. I gotta piss quick," I said after realizing she was about to fall asleep, "we'll go to bed when I come back, okay?" She nodded and rubbed her tired eyes, sitting up to let me get off the couch. As s00n as I got to the bathroom, I heard her voice.

"Hey, Lou's calling you, do you want me to answer and see what he wants?" She yelled.

"Nah, I'll just call him tomorrow." I yelled back, knowing my best friend was just calling to get me to come drink with him tonight since I couldn't this weekend. When I walked out of the bathroom, Mckenna had my phone unlocked on the coffee table in front of her and she was reading my conversation with Jeremy.

"Is this fucking Eve Orion's dad!?" She said loudly. I walked over and snatched my phone off the table.

"What are you doing going through my fucking phone?" I ignored her question.
