of the small list that lane and penelope had compiled of people who they wanted to tell before the townās infamous rumor mill got the news to them first, adrien was one of the last few that lane had been burdened with the responsibility of informing who he still hadnāt gotten around to yet and yeah, most of his procrastination could be chalked up to lane dreading the conversation. telling his older cousin whoās been lecturing him for ages about being more responsible that he accidentally knocked up his girlfriend didnāt exactly sound like laneās idea of a fun afternoon, so he was soothing his fried nerves with a few hits of nicotine off of his juul before he went inside the medical building to look for adrien.
it was around noon, so lane was hoping to catch the radiologist as he was leaving for his lunch break. still, when the door swung open and he lifted his head just as adrien was stepping out of the building, laneās brows lifted and he gulped when he saw his cousin. āuh. hi,ā he greeted with a pseudo - casual nod, slipping his juul into his pocket. āso, penelopeās knocked up. she wanted to make sure you heard it from one of us and not some gossipy old bat. alright, bye.ā lane nodded again as he spun around on his heel and began digging through his pockets in search of his car keys. ( he sort of desperately needed them for the quick escape he was hoping for. ) / @cdriensā
