He smirks and then tilts his head behind him. “Food first while it’s still warm, and then you can get ready.”

Nothing with Tobias is ever weird.

“How long are you planning to stay here?” I ask just as I finish clearing my plate.

“I’m not sure. I’m going to call Quinn later and see if she can come for a bit.”

I nod slowly.

Griffin and I were living together in his house, so I’m not sure where I’ll go or what I should do when I get back.

I bite my lip before I smile. “Thank you,” I whisper.

Us.

That’s why this is exactly where I need to be right now.
