111 THESE STEPS WITH YOU

LUKE’S POV

So, Laura and I had been here for minutes, having a conversation that I couldn’t understand myself. It was actually nice being around her, she was fun to talk with, but I just didn’t want to get moved by her beauty.

“You’re the one who’s squandering the time here. If you can just let me have your contact, we’ll leave this place immediately.”
