[Three days later]
Amanda arrived at Kyle's new home in Montclair with a few things in mind, though the most important of them was simply to spend some time with him.
Her training and operational duties had kept her unusually busy over the past few days, leaving her with little opportunity to visit him.
They still spoke on the phone every single day, often for at least an hour, but no matter how long their conversations lasted, they could never quite make up for the warmth of being together in person.
Fortunately, the arrival of reinforcements from the central administration had finally eased some of the burden on her shoulders, allowing her to secure a day off.
She had no intention of wasting it. The moment she received confirmation that she could take the day for herself, she decided to spend it with the person she had been missing the most.
Ding-dong!
Amanda pressed the doorbell and waited with a bright smile, a white box held carefully in one hand.
