Perry pulled into the front circle of Tricia's apartment building, and Tricia hugged her friends tightly before grabbing her bag and heading through the revolving doors.

She was beat, but so excited to see Ethan. She was walking through the lobby toward the elevator when she saw Ethan sitting on a chair looking at his phone. His hood was up and his hair was tousled...he was likely trying to fly under the radar, but he couldn't hide how handsome he was.

"Ethan!" she exclaimed happily, dropping her bag.

Ethan looked up from his phone, and his face lit up at the sight of her. "Hey, beautiful," he smiled as he stood up to hug her.

Tricia buried her face in his hoodie, breathing in his scent.

Ethan pulled back enough to be able to kiss her. He'd thought about doing that since the last time they had. "I missed these lips," he murmured against her mouth, causing her to laugh.

"Hey, Trish!" came Emma's voice, ripping the pair from their private moment as they turned to look at her. "Hey, E!" Emma smiled, walking up to them.

"Uh, I love you and all, but what are you doing here?" Ethan smirked.

Emma held out Tricia's phone. "Thought you might want this," she grinned.

"Oh, my God!" Tricia's eyes widened. "I am such a ditz. Thank you so much for running back to give this to me." She broke away from Ethan to hug Emma.

"No problem, babe," Emma smiled. "Besides, I just took a really cute picture of you two on there."

"You what?" Tricia laughed.

Emma winked at the pair. "Later, lovebirds. Be safe!" she called in a sing-song voice as she turned to head back outside.

Ethan rolled his eyes as Tricia giggled. Ethan picked up his girlfriend's bag and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "I would really like to be alone with you now," he murmured as he kissed her temple.

Tricia smiled and her stomach did flipflops as they headed for the elevator.
