Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 375

“That’s my plan for now,” I say softly. “But the truth is, Karl has his responsibilities here, and I have mine three hours away in the city. Neither of us can escape that. So I don’t think it’ll go anywhere, honestly.”

Elsie listens intently. “I know how difficult that is,” she says.

Just then, my phone vibrates with a text message, breaking the moment. I glance at the screen to see that it’s from Karl.

“Can I talk to you?”

I furrow my brow and stand, pocketing my phone. Elsie shoots me a curious look. “You good, Abby?”

“Yeah,” I reply. “Karl just wants to talk to me. I’ll be right back.”

Elsie nods and watches as I slip out of the room. I make my way to Karl’s office, which is located on the other side of the house. I always felt like it was miles away when we were together, but now, it feels as though it’s right next door.

I step inside and find Karl sitting behind his desk, a tired expression on his face. “Hey,” I greet him, shutting the door behind me. “What did you want to talk about?”

Karl looks up, his eyes meeting mine. “Hey. Sorry I had to text you. I’ve been… busy.” He then pauses, his gaze flickering over my red dress and black cardigan. “Is that new? You look nice.”

“Oh, um… Thanks. It is new,” I say, feeling my cheeks flush ever so slightly. I settle into the chair opposite from him, waiting for him to continue. “What’s on your mind?”

Karl takes a deep breath before he begins. “Ethan wants us to go on a double date tonight.”
