Confession

Nora stepped out of the shower, quickly pulling on a pair of shorts and a loose-fitting t-shirt. She had just started combing her hair when her phone rang.

She frowned, a sense of annoyance washing over her as she rushed to grab her phone, its incessant ringing filling the room .

She glanced down at the caller ID, her heart sinking as she saw Damian's name flashing on the screen. "What does he want now?" she muttered under her breath, her finger tapping the "decline" button.

The phone rang again, its shrill tone piercing the silence. Nora gritted her teeth, her frustration mounting as she reluctantly answered.

Nora inhaled deeply, her breath shaky as she steeled herself to answer the call. As she swiped her finger across the screen, Damian's voice crackled through the speaker.

"Hey, I'm in your building," he said, his voice casual and breezy.

Nora's breath caught in her throat. Her heart pounded loudly in her ears as she tried to remain calm.
