βWhen you say zero sleep,β George says, his voice heavy with scepticism, βyouβre talking like. What, six hours? Five?β βItβs not like itβs all the time,β Alex says, to avoid admitting that he had pretty much meant no sleep. βItβs just been like, recently-ish. Iβll get over it eventually.β He tries not to squirm under the intensity of Georgeβs gaze, but he feels his hand twitch against his thigh traitorously. He canβt help it β he can still feel the heavy weight of the ring box sitting in his pocket, even though he had returned it to the jeweller months ago.
