ㅤ ㅤ i’m . . . not lying ? ㅤ ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤ “ are we going to brodie’s basement again ? ” ginny won’t even look at max , walking over to the counter & picking up food to serve at a few tables . “ i can’t just ditch work again , max . you don’t 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵 . ” ㅤ ㅤ

ㅤ ㅤ nope ! i guess it was just a 𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 . a rebound if you will from marcus . ㅤ ㅤ
