"Of course it is," he sighs, taking the phone.

"I mean I didn't tell her, she just kind of... Figured it out," he continues, blushing.

"Is it because no other timing for an interruption could have irked you that precise amount, or something?"
prodigal_miser
Snuggles! "Also I think she's a bit of a pervert sometimes. It just happened to be right this time."

"I have been operating under the assumption that I took your virginity."
