Kellan nods reluctantly, trudging off the porch with slow steps. I shake my head, still smiling, and step inside.
"Lisa?" I call out. "It's safe to come out now. I've banished the big bad wolf."
A muffled curse comes from the direction of my bedroom, followed by the sound of shuffling feet. Lisa appears in the doorway, wrapped in a towel, her wet hair dripping onto the shoulders.
"Is he really gone?" she asks, peering around me suspiciously.
I nod. "He's outside. I told him to give you some space."
Lisa's shoulders relax, and she pads over to the couch, sinking into it with a heavy sigh. "Thank God. I thought he was going to break down the bathroom door. I had to kick him out because he kept peeking in to make sure I was okay. While showering."
"Yes, I'm not surprised." I toss a few things at her to wear. Shirt, pants, underwear. "These aren't fancy, but none of us got to bring our wardrobe."
