She missed the smell that was uniquely his
She had gotten so used to falling asleep in his arms, she suffered from Insomnia after he disappeared.
When Austyn reached his apartment, he set her down and supported her with one arm while he unlocked the door.
Then he paused, narrowing his eyes at her.
""You're awake"
He said it as a statement, not a question.
Kira opened her eyes. "How how did you know?"
"Your eyelids were moving."
Kira realised with a start that they were standing extremely close, almost face to face.
she could count his eyelashes.
His breath was warm against her cheel
Kira drank in the view.
It had been four years, yet somehow, he hadn't aged at all.
Other than that furrow between his brows, the result of a habitual frown, his face was unlined.
The only thing that had changed was his eyes.
There was no emotion in them when he looked at her.
Kira had to constantly remind herself that she was just a stranger to him at the moment.
She tried to convince herself that it would change once he remembered who she was

Kira perched on a sofa in the living room.
Austyn strolled over to the balcony and pulled the sliding glass door shut behind him.
Kira caught snippets of his conversation-something to do with a price war
Recalling the business meeting she'd interrupted, Kira felt slightly guilty.
He Hasnt Aded A Day
She looked away and occupied herself with examining the furniture.
When her phone rang, she thought it was Rony.
But it was a different caller ID.
Kira shot to her feet and answered the call at the same time.
She darted a glance at the man whose back was to her.
Then she whispered into the phone.
'Honey, why are you calling me at such a late hour?'

Itenounce His Past
Austyn tumed around and caught the sweet look on Kira's face.
She was standing in profile, but the smile was unmistakable.
A draught carried over fragments of her conversation.
No-Sorry, honey-I can't go back..Don't wait up...'
She was practically cooing
Austyn namowed his eyes.
Honey?
Was she talking to her boyfriend or husband?
Austyn zemained on the balcony and lit up a cigarette, inhaling slowly.
He stood where he was, waiting for her to finish the phone call.
But she was still talking after fifteen minutes

She was making kissing noises.
There was a glow to her face, not present when she talked to him.
Austyn's face gradually darkened.
A cold glint flashed across his eyes.
Kira was playing with a tassel on the sofa cover ashtalked.
She jumped when she turned around and saw Austyn's face.
She triedly whispered something into her phone and bang up quickly.
Then she stuffed her phone back into her pants pocket as if to hide evidence of a crime.
Austyn stepped into the living room
