Eli tilted his head at his phone— the poor little rectangle wouldn’t stop vibrating. Typically he wouldn’t be one to ask for input about things like this, but he felt he had no choice. “I can’t get this person to leave me alone. It’s one of the students in the course that I’m a TA for. Don’t people know that you can flirt without actually having sex? There are appetizers available even though the meal is off-limits.

Sienna cringed at the sound of her wallet clattering to the ground. Her arms were full of boxes she was taking into Rosie’s – at Rosie’s request, of course, it wasn’t her usual job to pick up things, but it was a little extra money and she definitely wasn’t in a position to turn that down. Eyes settling on the closest person wandering past her, she flicked her hair out of her face and called out, her obvious British accent cutting cleanly through the air. “Hey! Could you help me with this for a second? I’d really appreciate it!”
