Before unlocking it, I called out, "Who is it?" "It's me, Hayden." Hearing his voice stoppedin my tracks. What was Hayden doing here? Did something happen? I opened the door, and there he was, looking effortlessly handsin a black t-shirt and cargo pants- practical, yet somehow still striking.

The warmth of his palm against my skin brought an unexpected sense of calm, "No fever," he said, lowering his hand and lifting a grocery bag filled with fresh ingredients. The crisp Jeaves peeked out, and I could tell he'd just bought them.
