Rather than going in through the garage door, Chase met Maddy outside to walk her in through the front door. Knowing Miss Hanson would be glued to her window, peering through her blinds per her usual whenever he came and went, he waved politely. As usual, the blinds abruptly shifted as she hid, pretending that she hadn’t been staring.

He was starting to enjoy the routine. At least he had a neighbor he interacted with. Good progress.

He suddenly felt a bit nervous as he unlocked the door and let Maddy walk in the door before him. Would she approve? He’d put a lot of thought into putting his home together, which is why it was still so sparse.

“This place is gorgeous. The floors are amazing. I would have moved in just for these spectacular wood floors.” She didn’t hesitate walking in. She hardly paused as she stepped out of her flip flops and walked into the house, her gaze missing nothing.

“I’m glad you like it. I rented it from an ad online; it was a bit scary moving in without having seen the place first.” He sighed in relief and followed her into the house. He tossed the groceries on the kitchen counter and watched her continue her self-guided tour of the house. Leaning against the dining room arched entry, he watched the show. Her sense of wonder was… refreshing.

Her hips swayed and the long, narrow dress accented her spectacularly fine ass as she walked. She’d let her hair go wild today; he had to restrain himself from pulling her against him and burying his hands in the wavy mass of hair. Her face was freshly clean without a trace of make-up; she looked hot with it but was a goddess without.

She strolled toward him finally, adding an extra swing to her hips and a shy grin on her face. Maddy handed him her gift, wrapped creatively in fabric. “The wrapping is a tablecloth, fyi. They didn’t have any wrapping paper or gift bags at the market today, so I improvised.” She nervously held her hands behind her and backed against the dining room table to watch him open the gift.

He grinned at her, slowly opening his present. Under the blue linen tablecloth was a smooth, wood-grain salad bowl with matching fish-shaped tongs. Sturdy pieces, classy but not delicate. “Thanks, this is awesome. I like the fish.”

He walked toward her and reached around her, setting the bowl on the dining room table. Then, again, silence. He pushed through. “I need to thank you, and Ian, for last night. I checked out the office this morning, spent a few hours cleaning up and looking for anything stolen. Looks like you got them before they did any serious damage. Some broken furniture in the front office – you ok?”

“I’m good. He resisted arrest, but I got him.”

“Was that your skull or his that dented the wall? The cameras didn’t capture the specifics in the dark… just bodies flying.” Chase gently stepped closer, his hand feeling the back of her head for injury.
