Probably won’t even give him a second thought after he leaves here. His head is full enough with thoughts of the two men he’s walking with now.

“Stop teasing Jayden. It’s not nice, Eli,” Chogan says, swatting Eli’s arm as they reach the campus parking lot.

“I’m used to it. He’s always an asshole.” Jayden smirks.
