There was no escape; every corner he turned, blaring speakers continued their torture.Even the bedroom, the seemingly only enclosed room in this godforsaken house, was occupied by a group of women huddled on the bed, giggling about something.This was a nightmare.
He prayed for hazel eyes to find him, for Sami to magically appear and help take his mind off things—
“Looking for someone?”a high voice screamed.A red-haired woman, easily a foot shorter than him, smiled widely.The paralegal he had met in Grash’s office—Katie?Cathy?—except she had traded her sensible work clothes for a daringly short cocktail dress with a low neckline.
“Uh.”Baz searched the room for an excuse.Found none.Would a ‘yes’ deter her?Would she try to help?Would she interpret a ‘no’ as an invitation to talk that Baz did not care to usher?“Yes.A friend.”
Please don’t ask questions, please don’t ask questions…
“I can be your friend,” she purred, shimmying closer.Her pushed-up breasts brushed over his chest.Fuck.How could he get away—oh!Baz pulled his phone out of his pocket.
“Excuse me, I have to deal with this!So important.”
Her face dropped along with her shoulders, but she moved on.Thank god.Baz released a deep, shaky breath and double-tapped the screen.Please, let there be something.An emergency of sorts, anything that gave him an excuse to leave…

Nine?What the hell happened?
have you ever thought about mountains
because I just watched a documentary on climbing mount everest and let me tell you
ew
first of all why
second of all still why??
it’s a graveyard literally filled with human feces?!
imagine having like a hundred k and several months off
who the hell chooses to spend that climbing through other people’s shit and risking death?and for what??do these people not know that drone footage exists??
also justice for sherpas they are the real MVPs they deserve a million bucks
Jesus.Baz’s huff turned into a breathless laugh.He had no idea why Sami thought Baz needed to hear about this—well, knowing Sami, he hadn’t thought at all.He had just told him because he wanted to.An admirable trait, sometimes.
It wasn’t awful to be entrusted with the random thoughts that popped into his handsome head.
What on earth makes you think I give a shit?
why would you NOT
its morbidly fascinating
the stories are crazy
im deep in the rabbit hole can you tell
Hard not to.Hearing Sami rant about Mount Everest would be infinitely more pleasant than being stuck here.Cuddled up under a blanket, researching together… There he went again with pointless daydreams.Parties always messed with his mind.
Good for you.
why do I get the feeling you’re grumpier than usual
I’m never grumpy.
