When Owen returned, arms full of bags, Hailey had just finished her shower and was trying to figure out how to make her way out.

“Hailey, are you done? Owen called, knocking gently on the bathroom door

Hailey wrapped herself in a towel, then cracked the door open just enough to extend a soft, pale hand. Tm done. Just hand me the things.”

Owen passed her a small bag.

When Hailey saw the underwear in the bag, she bit her lip, her cheeks flushing again. She thought, Owen is way too thoughtful

After drying off, Hailey glanced at the dirty clothes, hesitating for a moment. “Owen, my clothes are dirty, too.”

“Wear mine.” He stood up, walked over to the wardrobe, and pulled out a white shirt, handing it to her.

Once Hailey changed into the shirt, she emerged from the bathroom. Her hair was still wet, and she wore nothing but Owen’s white shirt, which hung loosely on her frame, reaching down to her thighs. The sight of her long, slender legs was impossible to ignore, drawing attention to the delicate contrast of her skin.

“I couldn’t find a dry towel,” she said, lifting her head. Her eyes, clear and beautiful, looked up at him with innocent purity. With her hair still damp, the shirt quickly became soaked with water.

“I’ll find one for you. You should get in bed and cover–up, Owen said, guiding her to the bed and tucking her in. “You can’t afford to catch a chill right now.”

Hailey obediently slipped off her shoes and sat on the edge of the bed, curling up into a little ball, looking small and fragile -exactly the kind of person you’d want to protect.

Owen grabbed a gray towel from the closet, gently draping it over her head, his movements soft as he began to dry her hair. Her hair was long, thick, and black, the texture so smooth it felt like the finest silk beneath his fingers.

Owen dried her hair until it was half–dry, then grabbed the hair dryer. With his long, elegant fingers, he carefully lifted her strands and began to dry her hair.

Hailey had been sitting, but whether it was the softness of his touch or the gentle warmth of the air, she soon began to feel drowsy. Before she realized it, her eyes fluttered shut.

Owen was focused on drying her hair when he suddenly felt her lean against his chest. Looking down, he realized that Hailey had already fallen asleep.

He couldn’t help but chuckle softly, picking up the pace to finish drying her hair. Once done, he placed the hair dryer aside, gently adjusted Hailey’s sleeping position, and carefully laid her down on the bed, covering her with the blankets.

In the middle of the night, Hailey woke up to the sharp pangs of menstrual cramps.

The room was pitch dark, and Hailey’s abdomen was cramping painfully. She needed to get to the bathroom but fumbled around, unable to find the light switch.
