When the bathroom door swung open, there was Sophie, lounging alone in the tub, looking a bit sheepish. She

asked, "Uh... where's the towel?" It was her first tstaying here, and she hadn't anticipated that the towels

wouldn't be in the bathroom. Seeing Sophie was fine, Colby's tense expression relaxed a bit. "I'll grab it for you,"

he said. He walked over, picked up a towel, and draped it over Sophie's shoulders. The steaminess of the

bathroom must have been getting to her because her cheeks were flushed. Noticing a healing wound on her

shoulder and worried about her getting hurt, Colby scooped Sophie right out of the tub. She instinctively

wrapped her arms around his neck, and their breaths mingled in the close space. Colby's arms, broad and

"Feeling tired?" Colby asked out of the blue, catching Sophie off guard. "Exhausted!" she replied with a hint of

humor. "Then lie back, I've got this," he said, planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

Sophie playfully tapped his shoulder. "Hey, | just had a bath!" she protested lightly, all because of a missing

towel.

As night settled in, Sophie was completely spent. Colby ordered takeout, all of her go-to favorites. After the

earlier exertions, Sophie was sore all over, even needing Colby to help feed her. Eventually, she just lounged on

Colby, looking sharp in a clean black

shirt with the sleeves rolled up, sat across from her. "Do you always dress this fancy at home?" Sophie teased.

Old habits," Colby shrugged, handing her a glass of water. Their past jobs meant being ready to dash out at a

moment's notice, so Colby wasn't used to lounging in pajamas.

Just then, Sophie's phone buzzed again. Timing it perfectly, Reece was probably just arriving from overseas.

Answering the call, Reece's voice cthrough, "I'm outside your door." Surprised at his quick arrival, Sophie

said, "I'll send Colby down to get you." Seeing Sophie dispatching him to greet Reece, Colby raised an eyebrow

but said nothing. "Colby, go and let him in," Sophie insisted. With a resigned sigh, Colby set down his cup and

headed downstairs. She'd already arranged for someone to pick Reece up from the airport.

When Colby opened the door, Reece

stood there, masked and dressed in casual whites, looking every bit the incognito celebrity. Without the heads-up

call, Colby might've struggled to recognize him. Reece

"Sorry, my work's a bit unique-I try to dodge fan encounters."

Colby stayed silent, as Sophie cdown the stairs, now dressed and ready. "Reece, about tonight's dinner..."

she started. "Ten o'clock Reece replied, opening his suitcase and laying an invitation in front of them. "This is

basically your pass to the dinner. It's six-thirty now, so you've got tto get ready."

Sophie asked, "How on earth did you snag this invite?"
