All right, so he'd been planning on seeing Elle for a few days, now. He'd even picked up a little trinket for her -- probably a little bit tacky, but he'd thought it was cute and she'd definitely sounded like she needed something cute right now. He lifted his hand and knocked on the door gently, adjusting his shirt.

Yes, he'd changed to pick up Elle -- into something a little nicer than what he wore to work. He half-smiled, hoping that he'd be able to at least lift Elle's spirits. Surely seeing her pretty face would lift his, if nothing else.
