The day dawned bright and crisp, with sunlight reflecting off a thin layer of frost on the windows. I was still sipping my morning coffee when there was a knock on the door. I set my mug down, giving Lisa a curious glance as she passed me in the living room.
“Expecting anyone?” I asked.
Lisa smirked knowingly. “Oh, just someone who seems to have taken a liking to showing up here every other day.”
I rolled my eyes but couldn’t hide the slight flutter in my chest as she opened the door.
There stood Adrian, bundled up in a thick coat, a knitted beanie pulled low over his head, glasses perched on his nose, and a comically fake beard covering the lower half of his face.
“What on earth are you wearing?” I asked, her tone equal parts incredulous and amused.
“My question too,” Lisa said.
