I knocked on Ethan’s door, wringing my fingers. Maybe I should turn back, it was too early after all. Maybe he was still sleeping. Ii lifted my hand to knock again, but before my fist hit the door, it opened. It wasn’t Ethan who stood on the other side.
“Can I help you?” She was beautiful. Even with her bedroom, sleepy eyes and a scowl, she was breathtaking. I could only imagine how she’d look when she cleaned up.
“I was hoping to speak to Ethan.”
“He’s still asleep. What’s the message?”
“Oh, it’s nothing serious. I’ll just come back later.”
Her eyes narrowed, and she gave me a once over. Then a smile spread across her face, it was slow and sly.
“You must be Ava.”
What did it say about me that I actually smiled? It wasn’t a friendly smile, to be fair, but it was a smile nonetheless
