He glanced back at the kitchen at Janet, then opened the glass door to step out onto the balcony. He was a little surprised to see that Patrick was calling him.

Ethan stood on the balcony, letting the wind blow his hair.

Amused by the quirky expression on her face, he pulled her into his arms and finally answered the phone.
