For example, "Artie is really too stuffed today, surely will have a stomachache tonight, so Summer should accompany Artie a little. If nothing happens at midnight, Summer can then decide whether to leave."
A myriad of reasons, a variety of excuses.
Artie was making such a lame excuse for the first time, and didn't hold out much hope.
But strangely, as long as Artie didn't insist that Summer Fairmont give up her apartment, Summer didn't particularly mind staying over at her place.
After all, except for the initial period when they first met, Artie and Summer didn't spend a lot of time on Islay.
Islay's population is too small to support a decent university, and both Artie and Summer attended university in Glaslow.
At the University of Glaslow, they lived in the school apartments, in different rooms of the same suite.
The school suites had rooms that could be rented separately, and it was within Summer's budget, so there was never any disagreement over accommodation.
