Chapter 36: Chapter Thirty-Four

"Guys?"

"Hope, we were just talking," William assured her.

"I can see that." Hope looked between the two men.

"Seth?" Hope called.

Seth looked at Hope and said,

"I know you've been very busy taking care of him and that is great but I don't want you wearing yourself out."

Hope smiled at his concern.

"That's so thoughtful of you and I don't normally stay over, usually," she looked at Will with a slight blush.

William couldn't help smiling back.

"I really did enjoy your company last night. Seeing you and holding you again-" William said with a slight blush.

"Holding?" Seth looked at Will subtly.

"Stop it, Will, nothing happened. You're going to give Seth the wrong idea." Hope chuckled nervously. Her face became redder than chilly pepper.

"That kiss wasn't nothing." William smiled teasingly.

Seth's usually calm and collected demeanour almost cracked but he only exhaled and pinched the bridge of his nose.
