Busted

Leaving Endora’s mobilization to Maya and Hollie, Seth went to Aleena’s room, where he found her lazying around on her sofa, holding a book.

Aleena felt the space rippling nearby and placed the book she was reading on the table, resting her back on the sofa, and smiled at Seth.

“You finally remembered to come to see me?” she asked teasingly as she watched Seth approach.

Seth smiled as he sat down next to her, moving a hand around her neck and pulling her to rest her head on his shoulder.

“It’s just one of me and so many of you girls; how am I supposed to split myself to spend time with all of you while also making sure this world won’t crumble upon itself?”

Aleena wrapped her hand around Seth’s body, nodding into his shoulder.

“I understand. I was teasing, hoping to get you to spend time with me, but if you’re busy, the books are just as good company as any. I also need to catch up with the rest in cultivation, so I have ways to keep myself busy.”
