The meal we cook isn’t great, but it’s not a complete disaster. I’d give it a solid C+. We might have to practise that, but it’s okay, we have time. Bellamy excuses himself to the bathroom for a minute and I take the time to check my messages.

I’m brushing my teeth when I notice an extra toothbrush, a can of men’s deodorant and a few cheap razors in my bathroom cabinet. Sneaky bastard started unpacking things before he even asked me. I can’t help but laugh. He did say he was seeing how far
