The moment Rihan drove into the compound, rain pouring hard from the darkened sky, his phone buzzed. He slowed into the covered parking area, where at least five cars were already parked.
He turned off the engine and checked his phone.
[Bunny: Are you home? Do you care for doughnuts?]
Below the message was a picture of sugar-coated doughnuts covered in colorful sprinkles.
Rihan snorted.
[Rihan: Yeah, I just got home. And yes, I care about doughnuts. Are you coming back soon?]
He grabbed his work bag, stepped out of the car, slammed the door shut, and headed inside.
It had been two weeks since he and Taeryn moved to Hill City—two weeks of settling into their new home and, surprisingly, slipping into an easy domestic rhythm.
