“I’ll check.” His arm flexed some more as he continued typing. “He wants Snapchat erased too.”

I smirked. “The whole site?”

“I don’t think he’d be averse to it crashing forever, no,” he teased.

“What’ll it cost him? You worked out a fee?” I joked.

“When he’s president, he’s got to let me visit NASA. I’m not allowed anywhere near it.”

Taking note of the pout in his voice, it was his words that gave me pause. “Whenhe’s president?” I took a moment to let my mind filter through those loaded sentences. “Wait, you’re not allowed to visit their museum?”

He huffed. “Why would I visit their museum? I’m talking about Ground Control.”

“You’re a space nerd,” I accused.

“Of course I am,” he scoffed. Then, he admitted, “Didn’t expect to wake up with you on the couch.”

Another woman would have felt awkward.

I was me.

I shrugged. “When you didn’t leave the room last night, I figured you wouldn’t mind the company.”

“I didn’t like leaving you unprotected,” he said apologetically. “I should have asked.”

“You didn’t encroach upon my personal space, Conor. I did.Ishould have asked you if it was okay to join you.”

I should also have just offered the other side of the king-sized bed like I’d wanted last night.

Stupid nerves.

He cleared his throat. “You have an open invitation to always join me where I’m sleeping.”

I tipped my chin up. “Really?”

“Really.”

“Even though I haven’t worked on atonement?”

“Even though you haven’t worked on atonement.”

“Do you know what I need to do before you’ll forgive me?”

“I have a semblance of an idea.” Yet again, he changed the subject. “I asked Aidan not to tell Savannah that I’d found you.”

I pondered his words. “She can know.”

“She’s upset that you stopped answering her messages.”

“I upset a lot of people.”

“You did. You should work on that.”

I probably should.

“Did you sleep well?” he asked when I didn’t reply to his comment.

“I did. You’re like a heating pad.”
