See her off

Ethan opens the door for her as asked.

“Thank you, Ethan. You have a goodnight and,” she leans in close. “Don’t let yourself get hurt.”

“Goodnight, and I won’t.”

And with that she departs, walking off into the evening air barefoot.

Closing the door, Ethan sighs.

But now he can focus on his phone and Heather.
