Chapter 1227:

Just as her fingers neared, Collin lifted the hairdryer out of her reach. Linsey’s brow furrowed at his gesture, and she opened her mouth to protest, but Collin cut in, “Take a seat, let me dry your hair.”

“What?” Linsey’s eyes widened in disbelief, a mix of flattery and astonishment washing over her. She wondered if she had misheard or if Collin had misspoken, unable to fathom that he genuinely intended to dry her hair.

Collin let out a soft laugh at her stunned expression and gently nudged, “Come on, sit down already.”

“Alright,” Linsey replied, complying as she settled into a chair at his request. The hairdryer hummed to life, and soon a warm breeze flowed through her wet strands.

Collin wielded the hairdryer in one hand while carefully parting her hair with the other, working quietly with steady focus.

Through the mirror, Linsey observed the moment unfold, a swirl of complex emotions stirring within her. Her mind drifted to a blog post she had once read online, “100 Essential Tips for a Lasting Relationship.” One suggestion had stood out—a partner drying their loved one’s hair as a gesture of care.
