I hummed softly to an unknown tone as I moved the vacuum cleaner around the carpet in the living room. It’s been three months since I started dating Xander and the only thing I regretted was not meeting him earlier.

I rolled my eyes and let out a dramatic sigh. “It’s just a text. I’m almost done anyway,” I pouted.
