▬▬ "YOU, THIS IS DOPE." Steven grinned, looking down at his phone as he sat at a table with his parents, Belly, and Lennox in a packed restaurant. “I’m going viral on TikTok.”
“Is that a good thing?” John asked and Lennox chuckled as she brought her glass of water up to her lips.
“What, millions of people around the world watching my speech on a loop?” The boy asked sarcastically. “Yes, dad, that is a very good thing.”
“It was a good speech.” Lennox told him, getting a smile in return. “Made me cry.”
“You’re an easy crier.” He shrugged.
“Am not.” She muttered, playfully hitting his arm before she poked at what little bit of food was left on her plate.
“Are too.” He argued and she rolled her eyes, making Laurel and John chuckle at them. “I gotta forward this to Con and Jere, man.” He mumbled, typing on his phone and Lennox smiled a little but she watched as Belly’s smile faded at the mention of the youngest Fisher boy.
“Thank you so much.” The waiter placed a small basket of fortune cookies on the table.
“Thank you.” John told him, picking up the basket.
“Oh, uh, I’m sorry, could I get a box for all of this?” Steven asked, and the waiter walked away from the table as everyone took their fortune cookie, but before Lennox could break hers open, her phone buzzed against the table.
She picked it up, her eyebrows bunching up at the first several words of the text that Jeremiah had sent, she quickly unlocked her phone and opened the message.
JERE-BEAR Are you with Conrad? I can’t get him on the phone and he won’t answer my texts
“Um, excuse me.” Lennox mumbled as she pushed herself up from the table, smiling at everyone before she walked away, making her way out of the restaurant. She quickly hit the phone icon and it rang a couple of times before the boy picked up. “Jere, what’s going on?”
