props."Thanks." I laugh softly."That simply leaves
a certain something." His lips turn into a sneer.
"You're having young lady problems."He'd require
a young lady first," Debris jokes, moving forward
to get us together with Jack at his side."f**k you

we going to play a few darts, or what?"No one
says another word regarding it, yet I feel tense.
Crissy is an error I made a long time back. She

a long time. I thought it was innocuous
tomfoolery.
