"What's wrong?"
"That house makes me feel suffocated."
"Where to now, then?"
An idea suddenly struck Dylan.
"I'm taking you somewhere."
With that, Dylan and Elena grabbed a cab and arrived at an apartment building.
"Come on in. This is a property I bought on my own. How about we make this our secret base from now on?"
Elena took a look around. At over two thousand square feet, it was massive for an apartment.
"It's perfect. Since you don't want to go back to the Sinclair estate, let's just stay here tonight!"
Dylan stepped closer, his warm breath brushing against her face. "Then you have to stay and keep me company."
A tingling sensation spread across Elena's cheeks.
The unique scent of vanilla clinging to the man, mixed with the faint smell of alcohol, was surprisingly intoxicating.
"Alright, I'll stay," Elena said.
"But I need to call my parents first. They're probably worried sick about me!"
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first," Dylan said softly.
After that, he headed toward the bathroom, and soon the sound of running water echoed through the room.
Elena made her call to check in, setting Daniel and Amanda's minds at ease.
Shortly after, Dylan finished his shower and returned to the room.
Elena happened to push the door open at that exact moment, prompting Dylan to hastily cover himself with a towel.
"Elena, why didn't you knock?"
Elena curled her lips into a smirk. "It's just the two of us here. What's the point of knocking?"
"But I am still a man."
"Since when did you get so shy? I've already seen every inch of you, haven't I?"
