HOW WILL THAT BUY YOU SPACE?

Me

…

That’s a good question

It seemed like a reasonable option in the moment

Callie

Why?

Me

He said my apartment wasn’t safe enough to leave my side. I was imagining us both trying to sleep on that couch together

Shudder

Callie

You could’ve moved in with me, as I’ve pointed out more than a dozen times

Me

You’re living with Hudson now, remember?

And Reed’s house is gorgeous

Apparently he thought I was living there the whole time we were apart

Callie

Why would he possibly think that?

Me

I have no idea

He gave me a key when we were sleeping together, so maybe that’s why?

Our conversation went on a few minutes before Hudson distracted her with something—probably hot shifter sex.

When she was gone, I had no choice but to open Reed’s message.

Reed

What are you guys eating for lunch?

I hesitated.

Then, throwing caution to the wind, I snapped a picture of Parker eating his third or fourth sandwich and sent that in response.

Reed

Fuck, he’s adorable

Me
