“You need some rest” I went over to her bed to pull the covers up and noticed she had bled through her socks again “Your feet don’t look so good I’ll have Blue check on theets back”
“Whatever” Harlow pulled the thin white sheet up to her chest and rolled over so her back was to hed and decided to leave her be
Lazlo, in his usual fashion, had called dibs on the top bunk of h there were plenty of e up on Harlow, I sat down on my bed and took off led his head over the edge of the bunk to look at e?” Lazlo asked
“You could just stay up on your bunk,” I said
“Yeah, okay”
He pulled his head up over the edge, and I slid off , on the off chance I got to sleep co around for theled around, and I didn’t understand why until I saw his jeans drop over the side of the bed, followed by his tee shirt
“Done!” Lazlo announced with some pride
“I didn’t realize it was a race,” I muttered as I yanked on my shorts
“Well, now you do,” he replied “This isn’t so bad, right?”
I climbed underneath the covers The bed, the pillow, and the sheet were all incredibly thin, but it was better than sleeping on the ground And it felt better than sleeping at Korech’s ranch
I looked over at the bed next to , Harloas already asleep I think even she felt better here Or she would, once she got past how she felt about losing Lia
“I ht?” Lazlo asked when I didn’t say anything
“Yeah, I’, and we’ll do better because we’re rested,” Lazlo said, almost cheerily, and my stomach knotted up
I stared up at the bunk above me, where Lazlo was hidden on the other side I had no intention of taking him, or anyone, with u with et it out of the way
“What?” The bed e “What are you talking about?”
“I’ by myself tomorrow,” I reiterated and refused to look him in the eye
“What? What the hell? Why?”
“Shh! Harlow is sleeping!” I said I glanced over at her, and she moved a little, but I don’t think she woke up
Lazlo turned around and dropped to the ground, wearing only his boxers He had tangles of ivy tattooed across his hips and lower abdos scrawled across his chest I didn’t want to notice him shirtless so I kept my eyes fixed on the bunk above me
