章 20: Chapter 20

Ajay’s eyebrows fly up to his hairline. “Oh, shit! I’ve gotta text Seb!” He hurries back over to the couch, rifling through the cushions for a minute before pulling out his phone triumphantly. He strides out to the balcony and starts pacing back and forth as he texts.

Blair looks pointedly at Marcus, raising one eyebrow. “I know you’re not implying that Seb has any chill. He’s been out all night looking for you.”

Marcus feels his stomach sinking as he turns Blair’s words over in his head. “What are you…why would he be looking for me?”

Blair sighs exasperatedly. “Because he cares about you? Like we all do?” She yawns, not bothering to cover her mouth. “I’m going to put the coffee on. I can’t deal with emotions without caffeine.” She heads into the kitchen, squeezing Marcus’ arm as she passes him.
