Chapter 153 Surprise Continues

• Mark waggled his eyebrows, and I moaned, "That key, I'm afraid, is up my ass, so if you desperately wanna get it for me, I'm not stopping you."
• For this reason, I instructed Aria to give him the tickets for the evening party. Not in advance. His immature behaviour caught me off guard while I rushed to finish the last-minute preparations for his surprise party. Whether she was overexcited and trying to please him didn't matter to me. I only asked that she hold off on revealing the Fall Out Boy information for a few more hours.
• The only worst form of Mark was when he was stoned or intoxicated because then he was sickly happy. A happy Mark was an irritating Mark. That took us back to the start of the cycle when Mark was a happy Mark and an annoyance to others.
