Class Reunion of Murder Read Online Free PDF

this some sort of prank?” Kimber asked. She looked between them, searching their faces.
    “No, we’re serious,” Lacy said. “I mean, we’re not serious. We just started dating a few weeks ago. Someday maybe, but these things take time, and I don’t want to rush because you never know where the other person stands. What was the question?”
    Kimber tuned her out and focused on Jason. “Seriously, what’s going on?”
    “We’re seeing each other. Why is that weird?” he said.
    “I’ve known both of you forever, and I never would have put you together. Never,” she added emphatically.
     
    “Maybe you know me, but you don’t know me.” Jason said. “Lacy does, and she approves.” He winked and smiled at her while Kimber gawked.
    “We can all have a chance to catch up tonight at the welcome party,” Lacy said.
    “That’s what I came to talk to you about,” Jason said. “There’s a work thing. I can’t talk about it, but I’m going to be tied up all night. Don’t do the eyes, Lacy. That breaks my heart. I took tomorrow off—I’m yours all day.”
    Perhaps it was shallow and immature, but Lacy had been looking forward to debuting their new relationship at the welcome party. If their classmates’ reactions were as dramatic as Kimber’s, then the night would be a lot of fun. Now Lacy would have to go dateless, just like old times. Work was work, though, and she had been busy the last few weeks, too. “No work tomorrow. Promise?”
    “I’ll leave my phone at home,” he said, raising his hand as if taking an oath. “But now I have to go. Walk me to my car. Good seeing you again, Kimber.” He gave her a little wave. She was still staring mutely at them.
    “My ego is being pummeled by her disbelief,” Lacy said.
    “What are you talking about?” Jason said. “She thinks you’re slumming it with me.”
    He sounded sincere, but how was that possible? Kimber was obviously remembering the differences between them in high school. When Lacy thought about it, she did, too. What were they doing together? “Jason, you have no idea what people think when they look at us.”
    “Lacy, I know exactly what people think when they look at us,” Jason said. “Why else do you think I turn into a jealous, possessive moron at the slightest provocation?”
    “I don’t know. I didn’t think you were the jealous type.”
    “I’m not. Only when it comes to you, apparently. I’m sorry about tonight. I know you were looking forward to it.”
    “Tomorrow will be fun,” she said.
     
    “We could get an early start by meeting for a run,” he suggested.
    “I’m staying at the hotel with Kimber,” she reminded him.
    “The high school is a few blocks away. We can use the track.”
    “Let’s swim,” she suggested. “We can use the hotel pool.”
    “Is this another clever way to avoid running with me?” he asked.
    “How often do you get to swim in a hotel pool? We should take advantage of the opportunity while we can,” Lacy said.
    “That’s true; I often lie awake at night and yearn for the chance to use a hotel pool. Let’s not let this golden moment slip away; although, I’m onto you, and someday you and I are going to go for a jog.”
    “I’m not afraid of you,” Lacy said.
    “Yeah? You should be. I know things about you.” He kissed her cheek because Kimber was still staring at them. “Good luck with her. See you tomorrow.”
    “See you,” she said. She waved and watched him drive away before heading back to Kimber.
    “So, what else are you going to spring on me?” Kimber asked when Lacy returned. “I don’t talk to you for over a year, you call me up, tell me you’ve moved back home, you’re a millionaire, and conveniently leave out the part where you’re dating Jason Cantor. By the way, I find that more shocking than the million dollars.”
    “Is it really that big of a deal?” Lacy asked.
    “Yes, of course it is.”
    “Why? I mean, I know we weren’t in the same group
