With that, Aaron was gone, leaving her contemplating whether or not she should have apologized. She couldn't force him back on, though she could request a conversation with him.

But she had momentarily faced a reality without him when he was shot protecting her early on, and the thought was unbearable.

Though he was sitting at his desk all the way across the room, he made it to the door in less than a second and opened it for her. "Hi," he said, stepping out of the way so Cadence could enter.

It didn't bother Aaron that he found Cadence's door locked about an hour later when he returned to her apartment; there weren't too many locked doors he couldn't find his way through, and that included Cadence's.As he entered her bedroom, he could tell by her breathing that she wasn't asleep, although her steady breaths indicated she had been in bed for a while. He had changed into something more comfortable, though it wasn't the boxers he usually slept in, when he slept, which wasn't often.
