*Sawyer*
The steam from the shower still clings to my skin as I step out of the bathroom, the towels wrapped securely around me. The exhilaration from the panel discussion lingers. After we arrived back at Theo’s place I felt a need for a nice hot shower.
We have planned to go out for dinner, but as I stroll into the bedroom, I’m hit with an unexpected sight: Theo is packing a duffel bag, his brow slightly furrowed in concentration.
“Hey!” I call out, my voice almost seems to be echoing off the walls, the warmth of the moment fading slightly. “What’s going on?”
He looks up, a hint of surprise dancing in his blue eyes, but it quickly morphs into something more somber. “Hey. I’m just getting ready for a trip. I got a call from my friend Ryder, he needs my help with something in Texas.”
