Andrew

I was officially out of my damn mind

I was inas she caasm

She was spending the night at my condo for the third time this week, and it was pointless to even pretend like I minded

I wasn’t sure what the hell was happening, but she’d definitely gotten to ht, and no matter what I did to try and come back to my senses—to remind myself that this could only be temporary, she slipped deeper into my life

“Why are you so quiet tonight?” she asked

“I’m not allowed to think?”

“Not when a naked woman is in your lap”

“I was giving her a chance to relax” I slid hs “What unnecessary bullshit do you want to talk about today?”

“It’s not unnecessary,” she said “It’s about your family”

“What about my family?”

“Are they still in New York?”
