7. You take a gamble

“Noelle was going to show us exactly how she and Simon were caught earlier today.” You decide to gamble on honesty. Afterall, Ivo was caught with a student; he might be sympathetic.

“I see.” He looks between all of you. You worry he might still do something you don’t want him to do.

“And since Simon spent himself, perhaps you’d like to step in with Noelle here.”

A grin spreads across Ivo’s face. That’s gotten his attention. “Alright. I’d be happy to.”

“Wonderful. Noelle, hop up on the desk.”
