"The leadup to the finale."

"It's been a long time coming."
The morning sunlight poured in through the window. The room was silent, apart from Cheesecake running around in his cage. Next to me, Morgan soundly slept, hogging all of the sheets as usual. I exhaled sharply, looking at the ceiling,...
"There's a party, and both Morgan and Taylor are coming."
Kevin ran his tongue over his teeth in thought, mulling over my offer. “Y’know,” he finally began, “This seems a bit invasive, and that’s me talking.”I shrugged. “I want to know what’s going on.”I had a revelation when I woke...
"Taylor needs to talk to Quinn. Lexi needs something more."
