"i'm bored out of my mind in my house, i just figured that it would be fun to crash in yours," he said.

"i barely even know you! you might be some thief or a rapist or some shit. how do you expect me to trust you?" she retorted.

"or i could be the man who saved you life," he said like she owes him something. jia started to blush out of embarrassment.
