“I like your opti that nobody knows”

“Does everyone know?”

“I think so,” Seb said slowly “My grandfather doesn’t exactly understand being discreet”

“He also believes this is real,” I replied through gritted teeth “Have you stopped to consider that you should tell him the truth?”

He sighed and leaned forward “I tried I ended up having to tell hiether, and my mother told him we did, so…”

“You know, I’ to really dislike your mom”

He actually looked somewhat sympathetic at that “I know I can’t say I’ht now”

“I’d hope not She’s the reason we’re in thisforith et out of it?”

“We could give it a week and mutually break up?”

“Yeah, no, that’s not gonna work formore that you cheat on me, so I slap you, scream at you, and run out in front of the entire place”

“That doesn’t really do anything for e”

“I don’t really care about your ie”

“I know, but as irlfriend, you could pretend to”

“Sebastian, I can’t pretend on both accounts I don’t like you nearly enough to do that”

He clutched his chest “You wound ht we’d reconnected this weekend”

“Holley, we shared a bed”

“If that’s the criteria for connecting with so coaches about to be out of a job” I paused “And Saylor could probably get a second job”

Seb fought back a laugh “We’re friends, and you know it”

“How do you figure that?”

“You wouldn’t be here if you really hated me”

That was annoying

I hated it when he was right He had a terrible habit of it and it was really starting to grate on me “I didn’t say I hated you I didn’t even say eren’t friends You’re putting words in my mouth”

“Ah, I’ing you?”

“You’re bugging me,” I snapped “And you know I’m not in control of it If I were, I’d be back atmy own business with some soup and not here with you”
