Not wanting to get caught by Ace and August, Winter just decided to deal with Marcellus later in the evening when the coast is finally clear.
Knowing him, he still probably kept sending her text messages even though she told him not to since she would not be able to reply to them while she was out. If she is to open her inbox and read them now, she doubts she can keep a straight expression for too long. That's not only because he's such a dork who has the cheesiest pick-up lines she's ever come across with, but he's also fond of bragging his qualities as a potential 'boyfriend material' and embarrassing her with his cringey sweet-nothings.
'But even with all of that, I still can't find it in myself to believe that there's a deep meaning to this love of yours, Marcellus Lexington...' Winter thought, thinking that Marcellus would get tired of her sooner or later.
