Chapter 55: Unexpected Visitors

Seiji woke up to a knock on his door, his heart racing as he thought the worst—Felicia's husband coming for him. He shook Felicia awake, his voice urgent. 'Wake up! Someone's at the door. It might be your husband!'

Felicia, her eyes still sleepy, opened them and stretched her arms over her head. 'Hmm? What is it?' she asked, her voice all sleepy. 'I'm too tired to move.'

Seiji, his eyes big with surprise, whispered, 'It might be your husband! Get up!'

But Felicia, a naughty look in her eyes, pulled the blanket tighter. 'I don't care if it's him. I'm not moving.' She snuggled deeper, her eyes closing again. 'You go. I'm good here.'"

Seiji, his heart still pounding, slowly stood up and pulled on his pants. "Fine, but if it's your husband, I'm out of here." He cracked the door open, his body poised to run if necessary.
