Lyla felt her heart go out to Reed as she watched the confusion plainly written on his face. He was much more of a lost soul than she'd anticipated, and she wanted to comfort him—almost as much as she wanted to fuck him again. She resisted the urge to sigh, not wanting him to get the wrong impression.

She had already lost her professional detachment, and she knew this was going to be a very tricky assignment.

Dumping his bags outside the door across the hall, she fished her own keys out of her purse. "I'll be right out," she said, and unlocked her door, bending down to pick up the two loose keys that had been shoved under it. She put her purse on its customary shelf and turned around to see Reed looking around her studio.

"Your place is a two bedroom," she said briskly. "Nothing fancy, but definitely bigger than this." She stepped over to him and he let her push him back out into the hall. She wasn't ready yet for Adam to know he was here, although there was very little her neighbor missed.

The deadbolt across the hall was sticking and she jiggled it, glancing back at Reed with a nervous smile. "I know it's not what you're used to," she said apologetically. "But you need to have a respectable address. This was the best we could do on short notice."

"You said that already," he commented, that bemused expression back as he watched her struggle with the door. Finally she gave up and stepped back, letting him step up and try. He grinned at her, turned the key in the opposite direction, and they heard the bolt release.

"Oh," she said, then laughed.

Pushing the door open, Reed stepped into his new apartment. She gathered a few of the bags and followed him inside. There was nothing there. He walked over to the short hall and pushed open the bedroom doors.

"What the fuck?" she said as he turned back to her.

"The movers obviously haven't been here, yet. Probably having a little trouble moving my weights." He grinned at her again. "Guess I have to hang out at your place until my stuff gets here."

Oh boy.

"Well, let's get your bags inside, anyway."

Adam heard voices in the hall, and Lyla's door open and close, and he frowned. The timing was all wrong for her to be home from work at this hour. But then again a lot of things had been weird today. From the super coming up and opening the apartment across the hall to show, and people coming and going in his hall—his usually very quiet hallway. He got up and crept to the door to look through the peephole.

Lyla was standing in front of the door across the hall, talking to someone he couldn't see. Then she stepped back and a man opened the door, and they went inside, then came right back out.

"What the fuck?" he whispered. "Is that Callum Reed?"

They were picking things up off the floor and taking them into the other apartment.
