Smack!
A crisp slap landed on Brian's cheek, leaving it flushed red.
Ariana jerked the blanket back around her. "Brian! Why are you barging in and pulling off my blanket?" Emily, alarmed by the commotion, rushed in. "Mr. Lodge!"
"Get out!" Brian roared.
Emily retreated at once, shutting the door behind her.
"Why are you sleeping naked in the middle of the day?"
"Because I like sleeping in the nude, obviously!"
"You..."
Brian realized he had no good argument. His expression darkened.
Seeing him flustered, Ariana went on, "Oh, so that's why you won't let me move out. You were planning to take advantage of me!"

Brian frowned. Since the engagement ended, Ariana seemed genuinely happy about it, which clearly wasn't an act.
"Of course. I've wanted this for so long. You've known that from the start."
