A low laugh leaves hi a deep exhale

“That wasn’t it, Deuilt “I’d never want you to get hurt, I hope you know that, but if I’ht now, and I feel like I have to be, it was hi out for, not you,” he admits, shameful

“Nic ht have stayed away and never told you, I don’t know, but all bets were off when Nic realized AlexNic did”

And Nico saas interested in Alex He knew I’d have fallen into Alex the second he made a move

“Ohthem with my hands

He was afraid to lose er when Alex approached ether
