“How long do you plan on hiding here?. You know they’ll figure it out, right?. Besides you have to face her and all of this sooner or later. Might as well be sooner, Youngie”. Mark wanted to coo at his partner’s state with his arms crossed above his chest and pouting like a little child that didn’t get what they wanted for Christmas. But held himself back. “Not true.
