Vin asked if I was planning to kick him out now that he'd served his purpose. I told him he should go study and that I'd call him over when the food was ready.

I saw the corner of his mouth twitch as if he had something to say. But he just sighed and walked out.

Seeing Vin a bit defeated, my mood lifted considerably. I couldn't help but smile as I chopped the vegetables.

"Wait, what? Why am I thinking about Vin so much? Get it together, Angie. You can't be like this!"
