Hayden didn't get to take his coveted shower until it was already late, bumping into his mom had taken most of his time, explaining to her that he wasn't moving out of the entire fucking continent wasn't something he wanted to repeat.

Then dinner, he hadn't fancied the crowd but he couldn't easily see their excitement to have their Alpha at the dining room even if it's the newly appointed one.

Virgil had some things to take care of so that left him alone in the apartment that feels too big and quiet when it's just him in it.

Apparently, it was the apartment that Virgil would have lived in if his mom was still alive, it had undergone major renovation though.

He beelined straight for their shared bedroom, impatient to get out of his clothes and clean up.

The bedroom is done in soothing shades of blue and gray and he keeps the lights dim, peeling his clothes off his body and tossing them in the clothes bin.
