ログインWren animated and unpredictable, already scrolling through her phone like she was planning something far more elaborate than she’d admit to. Robin calm and observant, quietly amused by everything unfolding. Greg, beside me, relaxed, and present like he belongs here just as much as the others. It fel
At the counter, I lean against the side slightly, glancing down at Greg. “Sorry about them.” “Don’t be,” he says easily. “They’re great. I’m happy you got some great friends like them when you moved out here.” “They’re a lot.” “So are you.” Raising my brow at that last statement. “Excuse me?” H
The debate over the last bite of pastry had escalated far beyond what it deserved. “It’s mine,” Wren declares, holding the plate just out of Robin’s reach, her expression far too serious for the situation. “You didn’t even like it five minutes ago,” Robin counters calmly, though there is a glint of
I sigh, knowing he was right again. “So, we just wait?” “We wait until he cools off,” he says. “Or until we have no choice but to address it directly. But when we do, we do it properly. Calm. Clear. No shouting, and through the correct channels.” I let out a slow breath, some of the tension easing

“I will drive you to all your appointments as long as they don’t interfere with my classes or my job. If they do, you will need to make other arrangements. You will have your own room, and we would obviously need to let each other know about the shower. Other than that, I’m sure we will get along qu
GregFuck me. She is so beautiful when she’s pissed off. She turns and just stares at me, leaving us in a tensed, awkward silence so thick I don’t even think a knife could get through it. I try to make the first move and smooth things over with her because a pissed off Jen can be an intolerable Jen
