     It's been a few weeks since Lexi and I kissed. She lets me stay at her place now, which is cool. No more hotel-crashing. We watch Thomas Sanders basically every day. There's something about him that puts a smile on my face, whether it's Virgil's angst or Deceit's snekkiness or the fact that every time I'm watching his videos, I'm cuddling with Lexi.
