Ready And Willing
“My smile fades as I open the door to the landing and find Noah Aubrey holding a bloody Dunkin’ Donuts napkin to his knee.
“Hi, Abby,” he says brightly, half bent over. He sets a paper shopping bag at his feet. “Sorry about this. I slipped on the sidewalk.”
“Out front? Shit, I’m so sorry, I should have salted it again. Well, come in, anyhow.”
He shuffles past me. “It was your neighbors’ sidewalk.”
“Let me get you a Band-Aid. Here, take your shoes off.” I close the door and pick up his bag. I see... a bottle of wine and a DVD case inside, and I steal a glance at him. Even injured and hunched over, he’s more handsome than I remember, especially with snow still melting in his hair and an apple green scarf wound around his neck. His handsomeness doesn’t punch you in the face like Rob’s. It sort of sneaks up from behind and gives your shoulders a massage, makes you forget about how stressed you felt before he arrived. Having Noah here relaxes me. I take his sporty black coat and toss it over the loveseat.MoreLess
