Everly

Not long after I’d texted Seth and told him to level with his family if he wanted to, lyrics started coming to me. Sexy, sensual lyrics. There was no question what had inspired them.

I’d scanned the apartment for a notebook, but of course, there wasn’t one. I’d powered up my phone to dictate the words before I lost them, and once the initial word storm was on my Notes app, I downloaded a songwriting app, because a melody was coming with the words. A gift from the music gods, and it’d been so long since I’d tried to compose anything that I was terrified I’d lose it all before I could get it on my phone. My caution about keeping my phone off was waning, but I still kept my ringer silenced.

I’d strummed Seth’s guitar as I worked out the tune to go with the lyrics, and it took almost no time at all to get four lines down. It’d taken me longer to figure out how to use the app than it did to create the first verse.

The lyrics were sexier than anything I’d ever written. Not surprising considering I’d been a teenager when I’d last focused on songwriting. In the ten to twelve years since, I’d sung other people’s creations and gotten so busy I hadn’t taken the time to create.

It felt amazing to create. Even just a single stanza of a single song.

I was strumming it again, singing quietly, when there was a knock on the door.

When I peeked out the peephole, I saw a woman I recognized as Seth’s sister, based on the glimpse I’d had of her out the window when Seth had left. Though I hadn’t had a good view of her, her shirt was an apple-green color that was easy to identify.

I debated for about two heartbeats, and in the end, part of what drove me to open the door was curiosity. I wanted to know someone close to Seth. Meeting Hayden would give me insight into him.

Truly, after our night together, he seemed too good to be true. All the more reason to carry on with our intentions of having a fantastic month together and then moving on.

I opened the door about a foot—enough to be welcoming but not enough for people to see in easily if they happened to be around.

“Hi,” I said.

“Hi, Everly. I’m Hayden, Seth’s sister. I brought you some muffins and wanted to introduce myself. My brother swore us to secrecy.” She held out a simple black earthenware plate with a blue rim. It was covered with plastic wrap, and beneath the wrap, two large muffins were visible. “If I’m intruding, just tell me.”

“Come in,” I said without hesitation. This woman was instantly likable, plus she’d brought scrumptious-looking muffins. She was pretty, with a happy
