My Dearest Gentle Scroller,
          	
          	
          	Sometimes the loud moments aren't the ones that change everything.
          	
          	Sometimes it's waking up and realizing you don't want to move.
          	
          	Sometimes it's a toothbrush on a sink that wasn't there yesterday.
          	
          	Sometimes it's coffee made exactly the way you like it after mentioning it only once.
          	
          	And sometimes it's someone saying, "I'll come get you whenever you're ready," and somehow meaning a little more than just a ride home.
          	
          	Our boys continue to make ordinary things feel suspiciously dangerous, and honestly? I'm not sure any of us are okay. ❤️‍
          	
          	Thank you for spending your day with them. As always, every read, vote, and comment means more than you know. I'm quietly watching you watch them... and I have a feeling this is only the beginning. Happy Pride all year. 
          	
          	Until next level,
          	Your slightly emotional author ❤️‍

He nodded once. "Thursday works."
          A beat passed.
          Then—

          "So I know where to send my excuses."
          
          "You mean when you skip."
          
          One corner of his mouth lifted. "Optimistic."
          
          I sighed and handed it over anyway.
          
          Mason typed something, then pulled his own from his pocket when it buzzed. He handed mine back. I took it. A new contact sat at the top of my screen.
          
          Mason
          
          Then my phone buzzed. I frowned. A message notification slid down.
          
          Mason: don't be afraid to use it.
          
          I looked up. Mason looked entirely too pleased with himself.
          
          He smirked.
          
          I hated that.
          
          Mostly because I was already starting to recognize it. Then he stood. Bag over his shoulder. "For the record," he said, "I don't li…
