[ the two weeks since she left ketterdam has left inej feeling lonely. she talks to kaz nearly every day, but it isn't the same. and since their relationship has shifted, inej somehow misses him more than she had when she left the first time . . . which had been a painful amount.
still, she is busy between school, her parents, and various other pursuits. between keeping herself busy and making sure to schedule time in the day to talk to kaz, cleaning her apartment has sort of lapsed. so on a rare day off, inej is cleaning, her hair thrown up into a messy ponytail, in shorts and a tank top as she finishes mopping the floor.
she pushes some loose strands out of her face, about to drop onto the couch before she tackles the rest of the kitchen when she hears a knock on her door. she blinks before glancing toward the clock on her wall, her brow furrowing as she thinks. her mother had mentioned coming over, but she had said that it would likely be later in the day.
likely a solicitor. or maybe a lost neighbor. so inej leans the mop against the wall, dusting off her hands before moving to the front door, unlocking it before tugging it open, about to apologize for how she looks when she's faced with kaz and a pet carrier.
at first, inej just stares, dumbstruck. because she had spoken to him last night, half asleep in bed. she was fairly certain kaz had told her that he had a meeting today. but no, here he was, with what looked like a pet carrier on top of his suitcase, looking . . . nervous.
the shock soon melts into disbelief, which quickly transforms into joy as inej quickly closes the distance, slipping her arms around his neck for a kiss. gentle, soft, but definitely delighted as she murmurs: ]
Liar.
[ a meeting. inej would never believe him when she asked if he was busy again. ]
