I was at work, where I was going to stay until the next morning due to the fact that I was working a double shift
narrows eyes "Working a double shift? And how do I know you're not just making up excuses?"
StarfishEnigma

crosses arms, smirking "Oh, really? You think you're so clever, huh? Fine, let's see just how 'clever' you truly are."

“when is the next time you will be around because I miss you”
pauses, reading the message, then smirks "Hmm... Looks like someone has been quite the Romeo or Juliet, trying to coordinate secret meetings behind my back."
StarfishEnigma
nods my boss won’t be able to get the time off
smirks cunningly "Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a little love triangle, huh? You, my dear, have just become a whole lot more interesting."

stands up and paces the room, deep in thought "You see, StarfishEnigma, love can be a powerful motivator. It can make us do things we wouldn't normally do."
StarfishEnigma

StarfishEnigma
smiles
pauses, looking at StarfishEnigma with a mix of emotions "You know, StarfishEnigma, I never expected to find myself in such a position.
