I mean, I thought you and Marks were a thing but I'm assuming that's what you need the distraction from," he sighed like it was a big deal, "So, I suppose it is in both of our best interests to just.... hang out until curfew."

He looked at her for a moment, "I mean, I'm a pretty distracting guy."

She kissed the palm of his hand, "He didn't mean to.... promise."
