“It’s never happening. She’s not coming here.”
Xane’s brows lifted high. “You’re texting constantly.”
Hardly.
“Sexting.”
“Yeah, but we don’t talk. Not properly. It’s all just dumb pics and stuff.”
“So actually talk.”
He shook his head. “I can’t. What the fuck am I even supposed to say?”
“Fancy producing our album? Or how about come to Cornwall ASAP so I can fuck your deliciously peachy arse.”
