“What the hell, Beck? Did you seriously just bribe my roommate with ten grand?” “Yeah, well, it’s my dad’s money anyway. Not like I did anything to earn it.” “Still a waste.” He chuckles, a playful twinkle in his gaze. “It’s not a waste if it makes you happy.” “You’re ridiculous, you know that?” “But you like me anyway,” he retorts, pulling me close and pressing a tender kiss to my forehead. I sigh, leaning into his embrace. “Yeah, I really do.”
