“Don’t,” I warn him.

He peels the backing away.

“Tommy,” I protest, laughing.

He sticks the label to my chest.

I stare down at it.

“You’re twelve.”

“I’m making sure security can identify you,” he chuckles.

He taps the sticker once.

Then again.

On the third tap, his thumb brushes suspiciously close to my nipple.

I slap his hand away.

“Tommy.”

His grin is completely unrepentant.

He puts his own sticker into his jacket pocket.

“No!” I exclaim.

“What?”

“You don’t get to make me wear one and hide yours.”

“I’m management.”

“You’re a visitor as well.”

I reach into his pocket and pull it out.

Tommy tries to dodge me.

I follow him across the tiny lift.

“Stand still,” I demand.

“No.”

“You started this.”

“You’re very aggressive for someone representing Greenview Manor.”

I peel the backing away and lunge for his chest.

He twists away.

I nearly lose my balance laughing.

“Tommy!”
