Cyrus let out another burst of laughter. The one thing she was thankful for was he did keep his temper at bay, and she preferred his teasing. After they were done, Cyrus tapped the pay cube and walked Alice back to the dorm quarters. “Good night,” she said. “Don’t undo my trust in you.” Cyrus snickered. “Good night, Alice.” Alice walked up the stairs and down the hallway to her room. Her watch buzzed. Solus: Happy birthday, Alice! Alice: How are you feeling? Solus: I'm good. Had ice cream. Cried. All good now Alice grimaced. I’m sorry. Thank you for the cake! It made me really happy Solus: Did you still try to make yourself a cake? She had actually forgotten about that. When she didn’t respond, Solus shared a video with her. Solus: I kept busy. I recorded a cover. For you. Alice
