Daniel's refusal prompted Jessica to make a decision, but he remained resolute, shaking his head. "I'm not doing it!"

"I said you have to! You don't get a choice! If you dare refuse, watch out for my punishment!"

"There's no way I'm sharing a room with you!"

Jessica paused, considering, "As for moving into the dorm, it's not entirely off the table. After all, it's a three-bedroom apartment; I could visit occasionally."
