As she gently caressed the white, soft pillow, she mused that any woman would be fortunate to have a man like Waylen. Though aware of the potential consequences, Rena resisted the urge to stop herself from falling for him.

She lingered in bed a while longer before rising, tending to her personal grooming and tidying the apartment.

The dining room was spotless, but their clothes remained strewn across the living room sofa. Rena surmised that Waylen had purposefully left them behind, a silent invitation for her return.

She gathered the discarded garments and tidied them away.

At noon, she messaged him, reminding him not to forget their plans to attend Lyndon's concert that evening.
