A breathless cry stops you in your tracks. 'Wait!' Simon skids to a halt at the bottom of the stairs, his glasses slightly askew. He gazes up, his chest rising and falling rapidly. 'I found your letter. You have to be more careful with words like that.' He stammers, a flush of nervous warmth coloring his cheeks. The city bus groans to a stop beside you.

He climbs the steps and gathers you into a tight, wordless hug, his heart hammering against yours.
