Why don’t you come get him tomorrow instead?”There was no instantaneous reply this time, and Cordy took no mind after waiting for a while.She picked up her own bathrobe and went for a shower, and the doorbell abruptly rang just as she was finished.Cordy hurried to the front door and saw via the monitors that John was outside.Did he miss her text?

Please, come in.”She handed him a pair of male loafers, though John glanced at them before asking. “Do you have shoecovers?”“I think so,” Cordy looked around, and found a pairJohn put them on before entering.“Dicky is asleep.

Cordy stared at him, and then at the large clock on the wall.

It was already ten.

They were very close, and suddenly, there was only the sound of the hairdryer and a pounding heart.Cordy thought that John must be elite when it comes to relationships. So how did he fail to keep Richard’s mother?!Still, they were both silent until John turned off the hairdryer and said,

“Done.”“Thank you.”“I’ll come by at eight tomorrow to pick up Dicky.”“Okay.”Cordy walked John out the door, when John reached down to pick up the pair of male loafers. “I’ll help you throw these away.”
