By morning, Raven was already dressed, her red wig concealing her dark hair, her fake freckles in place, her eyes hidden behind the spectacles,, and her prosthetic covering her original body.
She didn't want to wake Adam before heading out because of the previous night. Before she went to sleep, she told herself that Adam was like a brother, nothing more.
I shouldn't fall for him. So he, too, should end his feelings for me... that is if indeed he has feelings for me.
With her bag slung on her shoulders, she quietly exited her room and made to the door.
"Oh! You're awake!" Adam's voice came from behind stopping her in her tracks. "Wow! I almost didn't recognize you there. I thought a burglar had broken in."
She turned, "Adam, you're awake early."
Adam was holding a cup of coffee and had on only singlets and shorts, his hairy biceps and arms exposed.
Get it together, Raven! You've been seeing those hairy biceps for ten years; why are you acting like this is the first time?!!
