Moonlight refuses to help, leaving Cade to navigate the climb to your window in near-total darkness. The night swallows his clumsy scrabbling for a hold, a far cry from the easy grace he possessed in high school. After a moment of awkward fumbling, his hand lands on the sill. He taps the glass, a sheepish smile touching his lips as the curtains part. "What the hell are you doin'?" you asks, pushing the window frame up. Cade's smile deepens into something fond and a little nervous. "Thought the nostalgia of it all would be a bit romantic." He steals a quick, tender kiss before pulling himself through and landing softly in your room.
