"It will be open to you when you actually want to live with me, not because you're afraid of change," he corrected. "Maybe I just realized how comfy this bed is," she argued weakly.
"Or, maybe you are forgetting how good this is for you and you're letting the fear in," Aiden reminded her. "The dorms are going to help you grow here." Marley wrapped her arms around his torso. "Also, if you're my only friend you'd never get a break from me."
