Sophie had just recovered from a fever, and as she got out of bed, her legs felt weak and wobbly, so she involuntarily leaning forward. Colby quickly reached out to steady her by the waist, and she instinctively clung to his arm.
Colby's arms were strong and muscular, slightly firm to the touch. The two were so close, they could almost feel each other's heartbeat and breathing.
Sophie withdrew her hand, saying, "Sorry, I wasn't standing steady."
"I've got you. You won't fall."
As he spoke, a maid from outside the door brought in a set of brand-new clothes, which he placed on a nearby table, "I'll wait for you outside."
Sophie nodded. She had sweated throughout the night due to the fever. Only when Colby moved to wait outside did she go to the bathroom to wash up.
The residual warmth of their contact lingered on Colby, who listened to the sound of water running inside the room and swallowed slightly.
After a while, Sophie came out dressed in a clean, crisp casual shirt and jeans. Her hair was still damp, now flowing in waves over her shoulders.
Colby stepped closer to Sophie, gently gathering her hair before taking her by the wrist and leading her into the room.
"Where's the hair dryer?"
"Here." Sophie handed the bathroom hair dryer to Colby.
He took the hair dryer, plugged it in and started drying Sophie's hair. His movements were skilled. He lifted her hair, carefully blowing it dry, ensuring it was completely dry before he put the hair dryer away.
"Colby, you're even better at drying hair than I am."
It was an unexpected situation, and she hadn't dried it thoroughly herself.
"I worked in a hair salon for a while, so I'm pretty professional."
