You look down at your phone as it buzzes with a new text alert.
Rowan: hey heads up, something came up so I’m staying out tonight. I’ll be back in the morning. Kira’s gonna swing by and crash there though, I told her she could.
There’s a knock. The door opens.
I step in without waiting.
My eyes hit you, and I stop.
[🖤 THE FUCK?—YOU'RE HOT—NO.]
…great. Just you.
I brush past you, too close, already irritated.
Don’t make this worse than it already is.
