This whole thing felt like a disaster just waiting to happen—and yet, I had a suspicion it might be exactly what I needed to break out of the monotonous routine I’d fallen into. Sure, I had no idea what the fuck I was doing, but somehow that made it even more appealing. The thought of diving into something so far outside my comfort zone felt good.
Mai’s reply didn’t disappoint.
Mai
Haute Mess Express
Chuckling, I shot back another response.
Theo
Seam Dream Team
Mai
The Unthreadables
Ready to out-pun her, I kicked off my shoe and flopped onto my couch, pleased to find the restless feeling Linc had stirred up had settled—at least for now.

Mai
