Chapter 19: I Remember Cheyenne's Breath and Footsteps

Cheyenne slipped off her high heels at the doorway before tiptoeing into her apartment holding Rejuvenated Herb. The wooden floors felt chilly beneath her feet as soon as she stepped inside; just then, the piano music abruptly stopped playing. A warm voice like spring water sounded beside Cheyenne's ear. "I knew it was you who came over here! Be good now, put your shoes back on since it's cold on this floor."

"It's because you always want to tease me, but I've memorized your footsteps and breathing patterns," he explained. Cheyenne looked at him in surprise as she helped him sit down on the couch in the living room. Curiously, she asked, "What do my footsteps sound like?"
