First hurdle down. Alex had not only recognised him, but pulled him into the apartment. He hadn't slammed the door in his face. He was standing right in front of him.
And suddenly Hephaestion realised he hadn't thought of what to do once Alexander opened the door. He had been apart from his other half so long it had become second nature and now they were together again and...what? Was everything going to be different now?
Gods he hoped so. Just being in the room with Alexander again made it easier for Hephaestion to breathe.
