“What’s so funny?” Razer asked, seeing her s to be honest, Beth confessed “I was just wondering how you decided what your name was, if you decided it or someone else”

“Depends” Razer answered

“On what?”

Razer shrugged “A lot of things, usually because we are good at so”

“So because Shade wears sunglasses, he was given that name”

“You think I alasses" Beth felt his body shake in laughter next to her Beth was confused by their laughter

When the knock came in less than the hour he had said, Beth was surprised he was back so soon

“That wasn’t an hour," Beth accused when she opened the door

“I was afraid you would change your mind”

“As a matter of fact…"
