But that night, Zoe Rhodes still didn't go home with Zane Hawthorne.
"I'll just stay here for one night. Tomorrow, I'll go back to school to handle my dorm registration."
"..."
The faint blush that had just faded from the corners of Zane Hawthorne's eyes now threatened to return with a vengeance.
"Are you still angry with me?"
"No, I just told you I've forgiven you."
"Then why won't you come home with me?"
Zoe Rhodes felt a headache coming on as she looked at his pitiful expression.
She calmly explained to him, "Part of what I just said was true. I really do think living on campus would be more convenient."
"Think about it. When you drive me here every morning, we hit rush hour. If we leave any earlier, I'll be half-asleep. A little later, and I'll be late."
"So, I'd rather just live on campus."
Zane Hawthorne's thin lips parted, as if to argue, but seeing this, Zoe Rhodes quickly added, "I'll come back and stay during the holidays."
