body, soaked all the way through.
“Maybe warnnext tbefore you tackleinto a body of water,” he teased, then began to vigorously

my soaked robe on the deck along with his as we made our way inside. Instantly, the cool breeze blowing in
through the window hadshivering.
Noah quickly moved to the shower and turned on the hot water. Soon enough, the bathroom had filled with
steam. We both jumped in, our cold bodies appreciating the warmth.
“I was worried you wouldn't say yes, you know,” he said, holdingclose beneath the stream of hot water.
“That you'd be upset that I've been doing this behind your back all these months.”
| looked up at him curiously. “I'm not upset. But | would like to know why you didn’t tellwhen you first
started.”
Noah considered my question for a moment, then shrugged. “I don’t know. | wanted to surprise you- didn’t want
