Mia never needs anyone.
But right now she needs this.
She needs me.
I don’t know why it’s so important to her, but… fuck, there’s tears in her eyes.
Say no, my guy. She’ll get over it.
NO.
N.O.
Two little letters will keep your sanity and heart intact.
Don’t be a fool.
“Please, Swayze. Will you do it? Will you be my fake boyfriend for the next month?”
No.
Nope.
Oxi—in Greek, so she really gets it.
Non.
Nein.
Hell, give it to her in every language if you have to.
“Ok. Fine. I’ll do it.”
You fucking idiot. It’s your funeral. Don’t come running to me to fix you again when you’ve fucked us over.

Bogus Boyfriend reporting for duty. We should probably discuss those rules and regulations.
Me

Swayze
If it ain’t broke…
Me
Ha ha, I don’t know. I quite like the nickname Patrol Puppy for you.
Swayze
Over my dead body will you call me puppy. I can still back out of this, you know?
