Chapter - 42
Rick had just stepped out of the shower, feeling refreshed after a long night's sleep filled with strange dreams. As he toweled off his unruly hair, he heard his doorbell ring.
*Ding-Dong!*
The doorbell jolted him from his thoughts, and he quickly grabbed the towel wrapped around his waist. And with nothing but the towel covering him, he padded over to the door and swung it open, revealing Emily standing there.
On the other side, the sight that greeted Emily was not what she had expected. Rick, with his hair all disheveled and a towel barely clinging to his waist, looked like a mischievous Greek god caught in the act.
Emily was momentarily stunned, her jaw practically hitting the floor. Heat rushed to her cheeks, and her heart started to race. She hadn't expected to see Rick in such a state of undress, and it was making her feel all kinds of flustered.
