‘Arguments’ – Purpled · Y/n story by @xanz444___

The soft glow of Grayson’s phone screen illuminated the dim living room, casting shifting shadows across his face as he sprawled sideways on the couch. His legs were draped over the armrest, one hand buried in the bag of chips resting on his stomach, the other thumb scrolling idly through Instagram.

She’s friends with Varv. Met her at that party a few weeks back.
