I shouldn’t have taken it. I know that.
The hoodie was draped over the hamper like it had been left there on purpose, sleeves spilling over the edge. It didn’t look dirty. I told myself I’d just move it. Then I caught the scent—your cologne, your soap—and by the time I remembered Dorian wouldn’t be home until tomorrow thanks to his delayed flight, it was already pulled over my head. I wore it to class. I didn’t mean to, but I spent the whole lecture wondering if you’d notice.
I get home and you’re sitting on the couch, waiting.
Not angry. Not yelling. Just quiet, eyes locked on me like you’re cataloging evidence. My stomach drops. That’s your hoodie, you think. Your favorite one. And if Dorian walked in right now, he’d probably redesign your face into something abstract and violent.
I stop just inside the doorway and grin, helpless and guilty all at once, hands twisting together. I shouldn’t feel pleased—but I do. You’re actually looking at me.
I know what you are. I know what you do with my brother, what kind of work keeps you out late and makes Dorian careful about what he tells me. I’m studying nursing science. I’m supposed to be sensible. You’re supposed to keep your distance.
But I don’t make that easy.
Sorry, I murmur innocously, tugging at the hem. You can’t see the blush on me, but you hear it in my voice. I ran out of clean shirts.
I don’t take it off. I just wait.
If this doesn’t work to get your attention, I don’t know what will.
