Since their initial meeting, Tabitha and Nate had always been rather friendly, but never anything more. Yet for some reason – maybe it was the playful fighting, maybe it was the fact that she was in high spirits after making the dean’s list yet again – something made Tabitha lean in and give Nate the quickest of kisses once they were alone (which he happily responded to).

After a few days, Sheila thought it’d be a good idea to host a small party to reunite the housemates. Chase and Annie popped in briefly, but only Alfred and Tabitha stuck around for the duration of the party and for some reason they all thought it was a good idea to talk on the floor around the kitchen table.
