New Place… II 72B

Clean hair, clean body, clean clothes. On this sunny afternoon, he felt much better despite the heat. Not that he’s always dirty or anything. Raina is back and after months away from her he couldn’t wait to see her. Teasing himself despite his eagerness, he took one last look at himself in the mirror, adjusted his new glasses and dashed out. Excitement coursed through him as he started down the stairs, to his surprise, Tom was at the door. “Hey!” He called. “Are you going to Tate’s? We can go together.” Good thing too, he’ll get there faster.

Tom looked back as he opened the door. Two different colognes clashing. “No. I’m going over to Lacey’s.”

Lacey. His excitement dropped. “Oh. Are you serious?” He scoffed. “You two were together just yesterday, you’re going to her today too?”

“Two days ago actually. Seeing as you spent eighteen hours sleeping.” Sawyer joined him in front of the front door.

“Either way.” Just leave her alone for a few days. Why is he thinking that?
