Within Ethan's room a few hours later…
"What the fuck?" Percival's voice rang out. "It's no wonder it's was so awkward this morning."
Ethan sighed, lying back on the bed.
Percival continued, pacing slightly. "I should punch you for doing Hayley like that."
Ethan rolled his eyes.
"Bro, I thought I was bad with women," Percival went on. "But you? You're terrible. Actually terrible."
Ethan shook his head.
"And why the hell would you tell Isabella?" Percival added. "What kind of dumb move was that?"
Ethan turned his head toward him. "Really?"
"Yes, really."
Ethan pushed himself up slightly. "Okay, tell me. What would you do if it were you, would you lie to Aliyah?"
Percival paused. "…It's not lying, it's just—"
"Just what?" Ethan pressed
"…I wouldn't be in that position in the first place." Percival defended.
