Chapter 249: Damage Control
** Eli **
The sound of a soft door click made Eli realize that while he contemplated the dilemma of troublesome family members, the running water in the bathroom had stopped, and Harper was now standing at the door wrapped in a bath towel, staring suspiciously at the phone in his hand.
"Don’t tell me you actually took pictures of those ’unfiltered muscles’ and are reviewing them right now?" she asked. "I mean, not that I mind, but—"
"..."
Geez. Just how shameless did she think he was? He wasn’t that kinky in bed!
"Unfortunately, I think you’ll much prefer unfiltered pictures to what I’m actually looking at." Eli stretched out an arm and pulled her back into the bed, tucking her in by his side before handing her his phone. "Tyler got his job offer and is apparently planning his move to Davenshire soon. I assume he has also texted you about it at the same time."
Harper stared again at the phone, now a bit blankly. "Oh," she said at last.
Yeah, oh indeed.
A knowing silence stretched on for a few moments. "Well, did he not ask us for a place to stay this time?" Harper recovered first from the shock, her expression changing fast enough to a mischievous grin. "If he did, he’d be welcome to use my apartment for as long as he wants. The place is sitting there empty anyway, and I’ll be kind enough to only ask for half the rent."
