"Got any wet wipes? Hayden asked. "Or another towel? I need to clean up."

He was clutching my towel, but it was pretty obvious he wasn't about to use it on his dirty clothes.

"I've got some face towels," I offered, digging out a couple. "You can wet them and use them the same way."

He hesitated, staring at the face towels like they were alien tech or something.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Seriously? You've never seen these before?"

"Yeah, first time," he admitted, which somehow made him even more likable.

"They're disposable face towels, mostly for women," I explained, wetting one and handing it to him. Hayden nodded, finally getting it, and started wiping the dirt off his clothes. As he did, I noticed a smudge on his shoulder, so I grabbed another towel and reached out to clean it off.
