In recent days, 2:30 didn’t bring Imogen the same sense of relief it had in the past. While it was nice to be done with school for the day, it was downright awful being expected to go ‘home’ to Natalie’s new house. She missed her old house, and more importantly, she missed her dad. She’d gotten to live with him while her parents had been in the lengthy process of finalizing the divorce, and right up until the custody battle had ruled in that woman’s favor. Lost in her own world, it took Imogen a moment longer than usual to notice the presence of someone else coming to a halt in front of her locker as she prepped to go home.
“Can I help you?” she asked, masking her surprise that the visitor was none other than Miles Hollingsworth, someone she was relatively certain she had absolutely nothing in common with. Well, except for the fact that apparently, they were neighbors now.
