He took her hand, their fingers intertwining. “So, does this mean we’ve made up?”
Leilani hummed softly. “For now. The rest depends on your performance.”
Callahan’s gaze darkened slightly. He pulled her closer, his other hand wrapping around her waist.
“Is this… good enough for you?”
His warm breath caressed her lips, so close she could feel the heat. Leilani instinctively held her breath, her fingertips curling. “Callahan, we’re right in front of the elevator…”
What if someone came out?
“I know,” Callahan murmured, not moving an inch. “So?”
Leilani was speechless.
Just as she was about to say something, the elevator chimed. A neighbor stepped out, walking a dog, and coughed awkwardly at the sight of their intimate pose.
“Uh, good evening…”
Leilani instantly pushed Callahan away, her ears turning bright red. “…Good evening.”
Callahan, however, remained perfectly composed and even nodded at the man.
Once the neighbor was gone, Leilani shot him a glare. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
Callahan raised an eyebrow. “Did what on purpose?”
Leilani didn't have the energy to argue with him. She turned and pressed the elevator button instead.
Callahan followed her, a hint of laughter in his voice. “Dr. Sloan, your ears are red.”
Her hand trembled, almost hitting the wrong floor button. “…Shut up.”
When they reached her floor, Callahan wrapped his arms around her from behind, reluctant to let go. Since they were right at her door and her building had private elevator access for each unit, she knew no other neighbors would see them, so she didn't protest.
“Leilani,” Callahan whispered.
“What?”
