After a refreshing shower, Joy looked clean and stunningly beautiful. She slipped into one of Austin's shirts and a pair of casual pants, rolling up the overly long sleeves and trouser legs. The sight stopped the two men dead in their tracks right at the doorstep.

Their eyes met.

Frank exclaimed, "Holy shit, isn't that your employee?"

A second look at Joy, especially the clothes she was wearing, and it was clear what had happened.

"Look at you, man. Back in the game, huh?" Frank whispered with shock and amusement in his voice. "Going after her even during a flu outbreak, you badass!"

Austin opened the door wider, pulling Joy to his side. "Let me introduce you, my girlfriend."

Frank gave Joy a warm, overly friendly smile, which said he was terrified of scaring her off and leaving his buddy back in singleton territory. "Sorry to intrude," he said politely, "I'll just leave you two. No need to be nervous, miss."

Frank had already made a swift exit before Joy could say she wasn't nervous.

As he stepped out, Frank popped his head back in, lowering his voice to ask Austin, "Hey, you guys have condoms, or should I run to the store for you?"

Before Austin could reply, Joy peeked from behind and said, "That'll be great, thanks."

Austin was speechless.

After closing the door, Joy complimented, "Your friend is a good person."
