i feel slightly guilty
Oh, so now when he had done nothing wrong, he suddenly had a conscience?The mind of Sami Adam.What a fascinating thing to behold.
Don’t.It was my choice.
Are you still doing okay?Vis-à-vis Ian…?
i was until i found out im sleeping with a guy who unironically usesvis a visin texts haha
Funny.And not a real answer.
told you im fine
sorry to have dumped that on you
I really don’t mind.
yeah well everything’s okay so don’t worry your pretty little head before you get wrinkles and i have to call you old again
You don’t HAVE to.We are practically the same age.
Two years didn’t qualify as an age gap in anyone’s book.
no im pretty sure i do <3
Baz bit back a smile.Sounded like everythingwasfine.Awkward encounter with Aya destined to come Baz’s way aside, which was hard to put aside—but perhaps the blow could be softened.
After hitting the gym, he stopped by Aya’s favorite coffee shop and got an oat milk flat white mocha along with a gorgeously decorated strawberry cupcake as a peace offering.
She didn’t acknowledge him walking into her office.
“I’m sorry, Aya,” Baz said and placed the coffee and bag down.She barely glanced at them before focusing back on her computer.
“Did your boyfriend mess with this to keep me quiet?”
Baz deserved the snark for lying to her, but it wasn’t fair to hold his poor choices against Sami.The only coffee he messed with was when he stole Baz’s, a pretty forgivable offense in his book.
“He’s not a criminal, Aya.”
Aya’s eyes snapped toward him.All right.
“Not technically,” Baz said.“He was never convicted.”
Besides, Baz couldn’t combine the picture of the predatory drug dealer he had created in his head with the image of vulnerability from last night.How could that Sami be a bad person who ruined other people’s lives for a quick buck?It didn’t add up.
“That’sthe part you’re protesting?”
Baz pressed his lips together before the wrong thing slipped out.But what was the right thing?
“Hey, isn’t the jury selection for the Vitoni case tomorrow?Do you need a right-hand man?I can finally buy you that dinner I promised.”He had little to do with the case thus far, but they both knew he could get up to speed enough to be useful by tomorrow.Maybe he could remind her why they had been a great team since the beginning.
