Chris stared at his mother like she'd personally betrayed him.
He didn't want any pressure on Sky. There was still this fragile unsaid thing between him and Sky. Whether it was how Sky felt for him or how he had gotten here and all the in-betweens. As well as clarifying all the lies told even though Sky was already aware.
But his parents didn't seem to be concerned about any of that.
His mother continued anyway, folding her arms more tightly. "I heard he was even stranded and thrown out too." Her eyes narrowed slightly with that knowing glint only mothers have. "Why go through all that—for a roommate?"
Her gaze was still fixed ok Sky.
Sky looked like he wanted to evaporate into the floor.
Chris pinched the bridge of his nose. "Mom. Please."
His father raised a hand like he was in court. "I'm also very curious, actually."
Chris spun around to face Sky, flustered. "You don't have to answer that."
