Katelyn hit the stop button on the treadmill, her breath still coming in short bursts as she stepped off. She then grabbed her water bottle from the side rail and took a long drink.
She padded across the quiet living room in her socks and dropped onto the couch, legs stretched out in front of her. Leaning forward, she snatched her phone from the coffee table and scrolled to Amelie's name. She pressed call, listening to the rings until it finally went to voicemail.
"Is she busy this early?" Katelyn murmured, frowning at the screen. A soft ping drew her attention, new messages lighting up the lock screen. They were from Sage.
Her lips curved into an involuntary smile as she opened the chat. His last message was something silly and sweet, the kind that always made her heart do a little flip. She typed a quick reply, thumbs flying over the keyboard, then set the phone down again, already thinking about taking a hot bath.
