embraces holden from behind. ' what if i skip work today & we spend the entire day in bed ? '
the word ‘yes’ lingers on his tongue. he wants to agree wants to spend an afternoon curled up in bed , soaking up arthur’s body heat , but he can’t. so , he doesn’t. arthur has missed ENOUGH workdays due to mishaps and many have been BECAUSE of holden. hands run along arthur’s arms , face settling into a secret frown. ❛ you gotta go to work , babe. i’ll be free next weekend or something to make up for it. i think your boss will EAT YOU ALIVE if you don’t show up. ❜
