SEE? THE FLOORS ARE THE SAME.

“Really? You couldn’t have cropped the flooring out?” I pulled my legs out of his lap to tuck them under me, but he grasped my ankle and pulled me right back.

“Where do you think you’re going? You’re staying right here.”

“Aww. Youarea hopeless romantic.”

Before he could respond, another deluge of texts interrupted us.

Kimi

Marco. Look at HIS HAND.

Marco

Fraser, WTF did you do?

Kimi

He fought someone, didn’t he?Dubois, did he fight someone for you?

Marco

Who was it? Who’d he hit? WHY IS NO ONE TELLING ME THINGS.

Kimi

Auri, just admit it. You’re at his flat and he fought someone for you.

I decline to comment at this time.

Marco

THAT’S WHAT GUILTY PEOPLE SAY.

Kimi

She didn’t deny it…

Callum

Both of you calm down.

Kimi

That’s also what guilty people say.
