Once out of the neighborhood, Louis stopped and turned around, his lips pursed. A moment later, Keaton came to him. "Mr. Pearson said she'll be here for a few days. You should stay away from the young master for the time being."

Louis grunted. "I know." He wouldn't have come if he knew Leanna was here.

Keaton left, and Louis' phone buzzed. He whipped it out and saw the message Aidan had sent him. Daphne's address. He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out his dead earphones. He was dealing with other things over the last few days, so he didn't have time to give these back to Daphne. A moment of silence later, he called Daphne. "Are you home?"

Daphne said, "I just got home. What's wrong? Oh, I'm passing by your campus tomorrow. Can I get my earphones then?"

"It's alright. I'm coming over."

Huh? Louis hung up before she could say anything. Daphne stared at her dim phone screen, and her eyes went wide. He's not coming over, is he? Right away, she put her phone and fried chicken down, then darted into the bathroom to look in the mirror. Gah, I can't see him wearing this.

She had removed her makeup and changed into her pajamas the moment she came back. Daphne emerged from the bathroom and dashed into her bedroom to change into a skirt. She then plopped down before her dressing table and hastily put some makeup on. Forty minutes later, she finally finished getting ready. Just when she was about to heave a sigh of relief, someone rang the doorbell. Must be my barbecue. She went to take the door barefoot. "Coming!"

But the moment she opened the door and saw who it was outside, she froze.

"Can I come in?" Louis asked.

Instinctively, Daphne moved away so Louis could come in. I thought I would have to go downstairs and take the earphones from him. How did he know which unit I was staying in?

Louis entered her house and made his way to the living room.

When he finally stopped, Daphne regained her senses. Oh, sh*t. The table's a mess! She closed the door and dashed to the living room. She cleared the trash while chuckling dryly, "I barely ate, so…"

A subtle smile had curled Louis' lips. "Aren't you going to finish it?"

"Huh?"

Louis looked at the box of fried chicken. "There are a lot of them left."

Daphne hung her head low in frustration. "Um, it's alright. I'm not a big eater. Just grab a few bites. I'm full."

Daphne cleared the table at light speed. She stared at the chicken in her hand, but she couldn't toss it away. While Louis wasn't looking, she stuffed it in the freezer. She came back out and realized she needed to offer Louis a drink. "What would you like to drink?"

"Anything is fine."

Daphne looked inside her fridge and took out a bottle of drink. "Will this work?"

Louis nodded. He took her earphones out and handed them to her.

Daphne took them, but she shivered when she touched his hand. "Are you down with a cold? Your hands are really hot."

"No. Just… heaty."

Daphne coughed and placed her earphones on the table.

Silence ensued. Daphne opened her mouth, but she had no idea what to say. In the end, she just kept quiet.

Louis pulled his hand back. "I'll be going now. Good night."

Daphne nodded right away. "Sure. See you around."

Louis licked his lips and turned around. Just then, someone rang the doorbell.

Daphne's eyes went wide with horror. By instinct, she held Louis' hand. "Um, this is your first time here, so I can't let you leave empty-handed, but first, would you like to go to the bathroom?"

Huh?

Daphne shoved him into the study. "I have a lot of books here. Take a few if you want." When she finally shoved him into the study, she closed the door and ran to the porch. "Sorry, I'm canceling this. You can have it," she told the delivery boy.

The delivery boy was dumbfounded. "Miss, I can't take this. I—"

"It's alright. A treat for your hard work."

"Thanks, but I don't eat spicy food, miss."

Goddammit. She took the food from him. "Thanks. Goodbye."
