Chapter 2: Surprises

Chapter 2 - 'Surprises' (the week after)

Toby's POV: As I pound nails into a thick layer of wood, I can't seem to stop myself from smiling. I have something very exciting to tell Spencer tonight. I can't wait to see the look on her face . Just then, my back jeans pocket vibrates. I pull out my cell phone and notice a fresh text from Spencer. "What time will you be home? I'm thinking takeout. Thai or Chinese?" the message reads. "Chinese sounds good. I'll pick up our usual and be home around 7." I slide my fingers across the keys and press send. After stuffing my phone back in my pocket, it vibrates again. I let out an aggravated groan and pull it back out. Text from a restricted number. No, not again. My heart beats even faster when I read it. "Your motives may have been squeaky clean but are Spencer's? She might not be the only one to be surprised."
