Diablo Lake: Moonstruck
“She’d come, open up, chide him for not letting himself in with his key. Then she’d remind him he was the one who wanted her to lock her door in the first place.

He took the bags as she passed. “You should have texted me. I could have met you and helped carry these up.”MoreLess
