Scarlett misunderstood the silence. "What? You don't look excited." Before Sage could answer, a calm voice stopped her. "No." The single word cut through the garage and every head turned. Mason stood beside his truck, one hand still resting on the open driver's door. Scarlett frowned. "What do you mean no?" "I mean exactly that.."He walked toward them slowly. "The three of you aren't sharing a room." Vivienne's pleasant expression didn't change. "And why not?" She tilted her head. "I'm a student too and we enrolled together." She gave a small laugh. "My department is on the other side of campus, but that hardly matters." She looked toward Declan. "If Sage already knows Scarlett and me, wouldn't staying together make things easier?" Before Declan could answer, Mason repeated himself.
