Alex pushed open the door to his house. Cool air washed over them from the plain living room, the gray couch against the wall, small coffee table cluttered with books, kitchen counter visible through the archway.
Alice stepped in tight behind him, her small hand lingering on his a second longer before letting go. Her thick thighs rubbed together needily under the dark blue tracksuit as she clutched the crinkling plastic bag awkwardly.
Ocean blue eyes darted nervously around the familiar space, last time Anna had been here with her; now it was just them. The door clicked shut softly behind them.
"You can go sit on the couch" Alex said calmly, kicking off his shoes by the door, bag thumping down beside them. "I'll grab you water."
"T-thank you, Alex..." Alice murmured shyly, ponytail bouncing cutely as she shuffled over. She perched on the couch edge first, short frame sinking slowly into the cushions.
