Chapter 109 Afternoon Heat

She found Kelvin in the kitchen finishing a glass of water. He had changed into a different sleeveless shirt, and the fabric clung slightly to his chest and shoulders from the heat of the day.
• “You’re on time again,” he said as he set the glass in the sink.
• “You keep telling me not to be late,” Chelsea answered.
