EAMON
The thing is, after Hailey told me to move out of her room two days ago, I've been avoiding her.
Not dramatically or obviously, just enough for her sake and for mine.
But most importantly for whatever is left of my self-control because sleeping in the room next to hers was already difficult enough.
Actually sharing the same space?
Terrible idea.
Objectively terrible.
Especially now.
Especially this close to Claiming Season.
So naturally, the universe decides to reward my efforts by dropping her directly into my path.
I grimace.
Then slowly turn around.
"Hi, Hails."
The greeting comes out awkwardly and immediately, her brows pull together.
And because she's Hailey, she notices.
She squints her brows. "Have you been avoiding me?”
Straight to the point.
No hello or goo
