Even though Hayden had recorded Steve's last match for me, it just wasn't the sas being there.
"I'll save you the best seat, Steve said with a grin.
"You've got this! | threw him a quick fist pump through the screen.
He nodded. 'Take care of yourself too."
"Mhm, I'm about to eat something and crash," | mumbled, feeling exhaustion creeping in.
| hadn't slept well last night, but somehow pushed through today. Now? | was ready to pass out. As soon as the
call ended, | tossed my phone aside and stared at the dark kitchen.

It would've been nice if Hayden were here to cook, but hope-he was keeping his distance, playing that proud
game. Wonder how long that'll last.
That thought lingered as | finally drifted off, completely wiped after almost twenty-four hours awake. When |
opened my eyes again, sunlight streamed through the windows.
Even after all that sleep, | felt groggy. | turned over, burying my face in the pillow, but the moment ! moved, pain
shot through my whole body. "Oww," | groaned, half asleep, "Hayden, can you rub my back? Silence.
| waited, expecting to hear him or feel the bed shift. Nothing. "Hay..." | started again, but the rest of his ngot
stuck in my throat.
He wasn't here. Why was | calling for him?
Stupid habits.
It was the swith Jace. I'd gotten used to having him around, and now | was falling into the spattern with
Hayden. Always depending on someone being there, and now | had to break that habit all over again.
Once more, | was alone.
The phone rang, snappingout of it. It had been buzzing for a while before | finally grabbed it.
Wayne.
He'd texted earlier, but | ignored him. Now he was calling. If | didn't answer, knowing Wayne, he'd probably show
up at my door.
Might as well get it over with.
After a beat, | picked up. "Wayne."
"Still in bed?" He could tell from my voice.
"Mhm. What's up?" | really wasn't in the mood.
He paused. "What's going on with you and Hayden?"
| hesitated, not sure if | even wanted to get into it. "Can we not?"

"Hayden still doesn't believe you?" Wayne asked, already knowing.
1 stayed quiet. No point in going over it again.
Wayne took the silence as confirmation. He didn't push, though. "I'm downstairs. Brought you breakfast."
"Downstairs?" | sat up, glancing at the window.
"Yeah, outside your office building.
| let out a breath. "I'm still at home, Wayne. Don't wait for me. No idea when I'll make it in."
"That's fine. I'll leave it on your desk," he said, not givinga chance to argue.
| thought about Lena's advice-her little gto make Hayden jealous by showing | wasn't waiting around. So, |
let Wayne do his thing.
Later, Wayne texteda picture: [breakfast, perfectly arranged on your desk.]
But by the t| got to the office, my desk was completely empty.
Where was my breakfast?
