AJ's POV
~
"Hey AJ, sweet, I'm only taking a walk of introspection. I promise I won't run away."
I kept reading Diana's sticky note, running my fingers over the paper. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Sweet? She had called me sweet.
See? She is easing up to me. I didn't have to be scared anymore. My heart had been beating wildly ever since I woke up, partly because I was terrified to face her. I was afraid she might say what we had was a mistake, that she had just been overly emotional, but she had left a note and even called me sweet. I would respect her independence and wait for her, because I trusted that Diana would come back. I only hoped she was okay.
My eyes dropped to her bag and phone. She didn't take any of it? Great. How was I supposed to reach her now?
Rest up, AJ. She said she was coming back. My anxious heart can finally rest for a moment.
A knock echoed at the door, and my eyes darted down to my bare chest.
