บท 1017: On a tailspin

Gerald quietly walked into his apartment, knowing she was already inside, waiting for him. However, he also knew what awaited him once he saw her. In truth, he was getting used to it.

He would not be this late if not for the unexpected visit he had. He intended to have dinner with his other guest. But judging from the time, the meal would probably be cold.

"Haley!" He called into the hallway, but no one answered. Once he reached the living room, he knew why. And just like before, he found her lying on the couch, fast asleep. 

She must have dozed off watching a movie while waiting for him to come home. It was her habit to drop by his apartment without notice, but she never demanded his time. 

She never texted him asking where he was but waited till he came home to surprise him. He thought he would grow tired of her, and she would find their arrangement bothersome. But somehow, he looked forward to seeing her at his apartment.
