Dark Horse
“Dakota stretches in the computer chair and rubs the small of her back.
I’m not sure how long we’ve been sitting at the computer, but I don’t care. “Look, you said you wanted to stay home from school and work on this with me. If you didn’t mean it, you should have let me do this on my own.”
