"…Why did you come?"
Suzy tilted her head slightly. "Did I come at a bad time? Did I interrupt something between you two?"
Thomas pressed his lips together. "That's not what I meant."
"I brought you some iced coffee," Suzy said. "It's so hot outside—this should help cool you down."
Thomas's gaze dropped to the big thermos in her hands.
"Thank you."
Suzy smiled faintly. "So… aren't you going to invite me in to chat for a while? This is what people do when someone brings them a gift."
"…Come in."
Thomas stepped back and opened the door wider. Suzy walked inside carrying the thermos and let out a quiet sigh.
Thomas really was like a block of wood.
When it came to someone this dense, she'd have to take the initiative herself.
Suzy decided she might as well go all in. But the moment she stepped into his apartment, the cool relief she expected never came.
The heat still hung heavy in the air.
