Cute.

The Ghost Prince

Thank you.

Velvet Villainess

You're just lucky that you stopped when you did.

I clear my throat guiltily as I watch through the camera in her smoke alarm as she leans back against her headboard.

I’m watching her stretch her legs out across the duvet and imagining peeling her shorts off and going down on her when there’s a knock on the door to the bathroom she shares with Arianna Sartorre.

“Yeah?” Galina yells, a second before Arianna opens the door and walks in.

“So, are we going?”

Galina frowns. “Going where?”

Her friend snickers. “You’re literallyonyour phone. How have you been missing Wren going off in the group chat?”

Suddenly interested, I switch to the other open window of my laptop and quickly type in some prompts, bringing up Galina’s laptop desktop on my own screen. Her texts, including the group chat with her friends, are synched to her iCloud account, so…

Yeah.

I click on her messages and bring up the group chat with her girlfriends.

Wren

Yelena

I apologize in advance. I think this may be my fault.

Wren

Ladies: it has come to my attention that our dear friend Yelena is in need of cheering up.

Arianna

Lucia
