My ti upstairs to have sex

“Where you off to,and enters the roo ers “You do it like this We’ll do a Windsor knot, it’s easiest”

Eliza plops down on the bed and crosses her legs

Meanwhile, Jack is ras and tosses the tie around “Here, perfecting the dimple takes practice, but I have faith in you, chap All you’ve got to do is pinch the tie with your thuer to keep the dihten”

Uh-huh Yeah, I’ll probably never do that, but okay

“You are so sexy when you talk like that, babe,” Eliza croons “You’re so fancy”

My roommate puffs out his chest as he takes a step back to survey his handiwork

“We’ve all got our talents, babe I’by, but I’m a masterful tie tier, which serves no actual purpose ’cept helping my flatmate” He slaps me on the bicep “So where are you off to?”

I take another look at myself in the mirror and raise my brows Jack just did in twenty seconds what I couldn’t do in twenty minutes

“Actually, I have a date”

Eliza sits up straight, interested “With who?”

“Lilly” Is that pride in my voice?

“Lilly! Our Lilly? Why didn’t you say anything?! Where are you going? Ohout? That little sneak” Eliza glances up atdating?”

“Gonna give it the old college try”

Eliza rises, clapping her hands “Oh I love this” She wraps ood for her—and she’ll be good for you I think opposites in a couple is a good thing”

“What are you doing on your date?” Jack asks, taking Eliza by the hand, the two of the back into the hallway, destination obviously their bedroom

“I’ll let her tell you after the date”

“You little brat! I want to knohat the plan is!” Eliza pouts “That’s mean”

“Co to piss his trousers”

Eliza studiesit would be easier for me to answer that question Fancy dinner?”

I shrug “Nice but maybe not super fancy?”

She nods “Then I would put jeans on Love jeans and a button-down shirt with a tie—super on trend”

“I’ve never in my life been on trend”
