[color=#9B111E]“Are you trying to take advantage of me, Caden?”[/color] The joke comes out before I give myself the chance to think. I grimace and close my eyes, silently pleading that Caden will either just take it as the joke I meant it to be or just not even acknowledging it. [color=#9B111E]“Yeah, let’s go home.”[/color] I mumble in agreement. In an even smaller voice I ask, [color=#9B111E]“Can I hide in your chest again?”[/color] I’m starting to find myself enjoying that Caden just carries me everywhere. Plus I fear what anyone will think if they saw my tear-stained, raccoon-like face right now.

I give Americans one thing, their greasy and overindulgent fast food sounds like the perfect remedy for the headache in the driver’s seat. I grab my purse and pull out one of my international credit cards, getting ready to hand it to Avery. [color=FFF79A]“Please get yourself something too.”[/color] I’m not at Caden’s level of stupid rich, but with a dad in the Men of Letters, money was not something I had ever lacked.

I chuckle as I type out a message to follow it. [color=F0A06B][i]Be honest, I’d be a super cool worm. Like, so cool without even trying.[/i][/color] I stifle a big yawn, not wanting to fall asleep yet, but the comfort of my bed calling to me.
