Lucy Didn't Call Max Right Away. She Waited.
Lucy didn't just pick up her phone and dial Max's number straight away. Oh no, she took her time. Like when you see a yummy biscuit but your mum says wait until after dinner.
That kind of waiting.
She told herself it was like playing a very clever game, a strategy. Like when you're playing checkers and you need to think about your next move so you don't get your king taken. She needed time to think really hard about what Max had said. She needed to make a plan, a secret plan like the ones in spy movies. And she really, really wanted to know what Cole thought about it all.
Cole always had good ideas, like when you can't reach the cookie jar and he knows to get a chair.
