Whatever.

Matteo

His loss, amirite?

Matteo

ANYONE CAN AGREE NOW >:(

Jade

You’re so right, Matteo. And not at all melodramatic.

Nico

That was sarcasm, in case you couldn’t catch it, Matteo.

Matteo

Catch this, asshole *middle finger emoji*

My god, these children are exhausting.

Apollo

I’m going to bed now.

Jade

Sleep well! It’s okay if you want to spend time with the Todorovs, we’re just being silly. Come see your niece and nephew for a bit tomorrow though! They miss you. You can bring Yordan, too!

A smile tugs at my lips. Jade is the sweetest of us all, and she never fails to remind me how much she values my place in her life.

Armani

Goodnight, all!

Nico

This conversation could have been an email.

Elio

We love you too, Nico.

Rayna

My adrenaline from the encounter with Apollo is still too high to fall asleep. But lying in bed with a TV show playing softly is actually quite relaxing.

My phone buzzes, screen lighting up in the darkness of my bedroom.

Elio

I hear you got a visit from hurricane Apollo tonight. You alright?

My lips twitch, despite the memory of Apollo hauling me out of the club.
