Harry stood in the hallway of Jade's apartment building with his fingers hovering over the doorbell, a nervous excitement thrumming through his veins.
He had spent most of the day thinking about this moment, about seeing Jade again after her housewarming party with the girls.
He took a deep breath, his finger pressing the button with a sense of finality.
Inside the apartment, Jade was tidying up, humming softly to herself happily. She had spent the day with her friends, laughing and chatting, and now she was ready to have some time for herself.
The sound of the doorbell cut through her thoughts. "Sharon must've forgotten something," she muttered, a smile tugging at her lips.
Rushing to the door, she threw it open, ready with a playful admonishment but her eyes widened in surprise before a delighted smile spread across her face when she saw Harry standing there, looking uncharacteristically sheepish under the dim hallway light.
