Chapter 251: •~•Chapter 71•~

Hayden isn't surprised when Virgil texts to say he's not going to make it to dinner, he had been half expecting that.

He worries even more at how distracted Virgil had sounded and he made up his mind to have a good long talk with him when he got back.

But the main task at hand was to actually try and stay up till Virgil got back, he had no idea exactly when Virgil would be back and that just made the wait seem unbearable.

He takes his time though, lounging in bed after his luxurious bath, settling in with a book after actually putting on the socks.

He had talked himself out of wearing it a couple times before finally throwing caution to the wind and just going for it.

Pulling on one of Virgil's sweaters big enough to cover his bare thigh and shorts that are more or less invisible.

When he gets the call from Virgil, he changes his mind about dinner and just slices up a bowl of fruit to which he eats while reading, this time in the living room.
