Wyatt’s POV
“What are you doing here, Wyatt?” Priscilla asked, standing in the threshold between the hallway of her Highrise and the interior of her apartment. With the back of her hand, she tried to rub the redness from her eyes.
For once, Priscilla’s hair was loose, cascading down her back in a waterfall of obsidian. He had only ever seen her with it up, pulled into a tight bun with no flyaway in sight. Pressed and prim in elegant footwear and buttoned blouses.
Right now, standing in kitty cat pajamas she seemed like a different woman. She looked more youthful with fluffy slippers and doe-like eyes. It felt like she wasn’t trying so hard to be the tense mature image of herself that she put forward. Priscilla leaned against the doorframe, crossing her arms like she was bored.
“Well?”
Wyatt’s mouth felt dry as he realized that he had no idea what he wanted to say. “Can I come in?” he asked, his expression not giving away how uncomfortable he felt.
