"Not at all. I'm just commenting on your choice of words, nothing more, nothing less," Stephen said. "However, should you feel the need to prove your point, I wouldn't stop you."
He snorted. "I didn't stay that I would stop you, but that contrary to what you say, I tried to tell you to fuck off." He kissed Adrian's shoulder. "So what exactly did you think it would happen? What did you expect me to do?" Stephen thought back fondly at that dinner. "I had no expectation. Anything would have been better than another night at the house by myself. It was tiring not to have anyone to talk to, and you... well it's easy to talk to you."
