Bryce seemed oblivious. “Go ahead. Don’t bother fixing it–just grab a new one.”

Lucinda exhaled sharply. “Absolutely not. That phone has all my precious stuff on it.”

Sebastian raised a single brow, unimpressed. “That’s all?”

“Mr. Sebastian, I can’t manage it all at once. We’ll transport it gradually,” she replied.
