Nothing much. Just getting some paintings done for a showing in a couple of weeks. Nothing too interesting.

Mission: Possible

I think that’s really interesting, actually.

Cover 1, 2, 3, Let’s Go B?—

Not really.

Mission: Possible

Would you be upset if I came and watched?

Cover 1, 2, 3, Let’s Go B?—

Leo will kill you.

I take a deep breath. I know he will. But what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him, right?

Mission: Possible

Leo doesn’t have to know.

Cover 1, 2, 3, Let’s Go B?—

He has a nasty habit of barging into my place.

Mission: Possible

It’s a good thing I know his every move.

Cover 1, 2, 3, Let’s Go B?—

Oh please, you do not.

Mission: Possible

Is that a yes?

Cover 1, 2, 3, Let’s Go B?—

Yes.

I’m at her door an hour later, and it only takes a second for her to whip open the door and pull me in.

“He’s not home,” I tell her with a chuckle.

Her head tilts to the side, her green eyes wide. “What do you mean he’s not home? I heard him in the hallway just a bit ago. I thought he was coming back from something.”

“Nope. Headed out. He has some very important business to attend to.”

Her brows furrow but she doesn’t ask any other questions, which is probably a good thing. Leo’s extra-curricular activities can be quite concerning and I’m not entirely sure she’s ready to hear about them.

I’m not ready to hear about them and yet I’m subjected to it all the time.

She suddenly looks down, realizing what I have in my hands. “Are those peach rings?” she asks, confusion in her eyes.
