So while I am finishing up the final touches on Graham. Here is a small snippet of Bryce.
I’m half-tempted to drop this box and tell her
good, because I don’t want to fucking help. But I catch the sad glimmer in her
eyes, and damn it, it ceases all my asshole retorts. “Look. It’s clear neither
of us want to be here. Let’s just get this done as quick as possible, and we
can go back to doing what we love to do best.”
She stares blankly up at me.
“Ignoring each other, Smalls.”
“Okay.”
We get back to work quietly. As we head out of
the basement with the boxes, I decide to try and be nice, like Graham
suggested. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to be stuck with each other a lot if
he’s making headway with her cousin. “So, what’s up with the ‘no one in your
room’ policy? Got some secrets in there?”
“Everyone has secrets,” she shoots back.
I chuckle. “Ain’t that the truth. But you,
Miss Goody Two-shoes, don’t have dark secrets. Bet your room is a picture-perfect,
princess pink.” I nudge her.
She enters a room off to the right, and I
follow. My jaw almost hits the floor. Her walls are not pink, they’re white. The
way she kept her room off-limits, I expected shirtless guy models posted all over
her walls. But there is none of that in here, just paintings. Lots of different
paintings.
