    Summary

    ‘Too late for that, I think,’ she muses.

    He cracks a small smile. ‘Sorry. I just, this thing between us, whatever it is—’

    ‘—A bullshit friendship with weird sexual tension?’

    Marcus lets out an honest-to-God laugh. She’s just—wow. ‘Yeah, that, whatever.’ She laughs, too. It’s melodic, a perfect tune he wants to bottle up and keep forever. ‘It just feels like we have this thing going, you know? I climb through your window, you’re mad, then we hug and like, almost kiss, and then I leave again. And it’s our thing. But if it makes you uncomfortable, I promise I’ll stop.’

    There’s a beat of silence. And then—

    ‘Our thing,’ she says. She says it in this delicate tone, like she’s tasting it, savouring it on her tongue.

    Or: The one where Marcus comforts Ginny after the chaos in her life reaches a heartbreaking peak. And maybe they find their own little piece of paradise.
