leaning up against the wall in carissa's living room, lennon was just trying to get through the night. she loved a party, but she felt a little out of her element tonight. she didn't know many of carissa's friends. at least, not ones from before lennon met her. she doesn't want to seem too eager, so she waits a moment before she turns her head to look. ❝ him? that's riss's cousin. ❞ the hottie, though she wouldn't say that part out loud. ❝ he's visiting, i guess? while she's in town. i don't know. family things, she didn't elaborate, one of those things, y'know? ❞ carissa was the type to leave it to a simple it's not my story to tell, and lennon respected that. lennon was trying her best not to be too interested. the last thing she'd want to do is mess up her friendship with riss.
