Holden yelped when he was pulled down, in a way that he'd deny having ever sounded like. Still, he had to laugh when he was in bed, looking at Felix and getting an arm around him in turn, if only to get some purchase. "Someone is down there. Someone who has never even opened the register or manned a shop by himself, so it's not party time just yet."

As tempting as it sounded. "Also, your breath stinks, my love." If he had to be honest here.
