AND YOU think you’re intruding??
Catalina
Carter has been ravaging me bc we’ve been trying to get pregnant, but my vagina needs a break. Layla pls help
Amelia
Honestly, come sleep in our bed and take Maverick’s side. He’s sweaty and annoying.
Catalina
SAME. Carter’s a fucking furnace
Layla
Wow, thanks for the offers. But no thanks. I’ll stick with Reed’s bed. He gave me the whole thing and is on the couch.
Catalina
OH MY GOD???
Amelia
That’s so sweet
Catalina
Couch = love declaration, you fuck.
Layla
stfu. He’s just being nice.
Amelia
Men aren’t “nice.” Trust me. If another woman breathes around Maverick, he gags.
Catalina
Same. Carter once glared at a grocery store clerk because she said I had nice hair.
Layla
…you guys are insane.
Catalina
And you’re blind.
I roll my eyes and toss my phone onto the nightstand. Their chaos lingers, but the truth presses harder the longer I lie there.
I’m in Reed’s bed, and I don’t want to leave.

. . .
The leather couch groans when I push myself upright, the cushions sagging like they’re as worn-out as I am. My back protests immediately, scar tissue stretched tight across my shoulder blades, the ache deep in my muscles lingering from a night of shifting and never finding rest.
