Summary
Chad is shorter than she expected, and she’s taller than he clearly thought, so there’s an awkward pause at the doorway as she looks over his head and he looks down at her chin, his brow twitching slightly as they mentally adjust to being the same height. He’s wearing a trench coat, which he unbuttons but does not take off, and his clothes underneath are fitted and dark, bland yet expensive. Alexa has been wearing the same pajamas for three days now, and there’s an eviction notice stapled to her door. His palm is cool and dry in hers as they shake hands, his grip too firm. “It’s good to meet you,” Chad says. “Lovely place you have.” He glances around as she leads him into the living room at his gesture, his eyes landing on the dishes piled in the sink, the withered flowers on the counter, the blanket and pillow she has on the couch, crumpled from her sleeping there. The bed has become too large for just herself to fall asleep in.
“Thank you,” she says, and wonders if she could actually kill him.
