Chapter 55 What Is The Status Of Our Relationship?

The staff had gone hours ago, which wasn’t a surprise. I was late again. They’d probably tucked my dinner neatly in the fridge like they always did.
• I opened it and pulled out something light. My hands moved on autopilot as I shoved the food into the microwave and leaned against the counter, waiting for the soft hum to finish.
