We’ll see. Now tell me how you are!
S
Fine. Normal. Parents gone for the night, I’m binge watching Love Island while on house arrest.
S
But your life is currently better than any kind of reality TV. I require being kept in the loop.
Rayna
As long as you do the same…
Rayna
I’m sorry I can’t be there. I could demand Apollo try and bring you here too? He seems like he might do it just to prove he can. And we have a 3rd bedroom you could stay in.
S
No way. Don’t risk your cushy new set up for me. I’m fine.
I sigh sadly, frowning at my phone.
Rayna
I saw your sister.
S
Don’t call her that.
Rayna
I’m sorry. I didn’t talk to her, if it helps. I didn’t know how to without ripping her head off for abandoning you.
S
My hero.
I can practically see her smirk and eye roll from through the screen.
S
It’s fine. I don’t need to be rescued. You just enjoy that new life, okay? No more letting men hit you for safety. Most of that family are unthoughtful dicks, but they don’t hit girls.
Rayna
We’ll see.
S
They won’t. Elio wouldn’t lie about that.
Rayna
I can’t promise I won’t try to get you here.
She knows I’m serious, and as stubborn as she is, I’m worse.
