And what did I find on the screen after typing in the password his friends had given me (twelve-twelve)?
Homework.
Halfway-completed homework.
I went through all twelve open tabs. Eleven were related to his classes—actual homework screens he was working on, how-to videos, and a couple programs I didn't know that had computer language on them.
The twelfth?
A guide to stocking a brand-new home. There was a little box open on that tab that said, "print successful," so I grabbed the stack of papers and leafed through them again.
I didn't find the home-stocking sheet, though.
Frowning, I searched the rest of the office, and still didn't find it.
I went into Jesse's room, and checked the printer—it wasn't there either.
Skidding down the stairs, I pulled open drawers until I found the junk drawer I'd avoided like the plague.
When I opened it up, I found the list right on top.
Maybe it wasn't a junk drawer after all.
It was a two-hundred-fifty item list. Most of the items were crossed out, including pain meds, tampons, sanitary napkins, and a razor.
Things I was positive Jesse the man didn't need.
Dropping the paper back on the counter, I took the stairs two at a time and dropped to my knees in the bathroom, flinging open the cupboards. I'd never dug around in them—not wanting to get too cozy. My own tampon box sat on the floor next to the trash can.
My lips parted when I saw the inside of the cupboards.
A massive pack of pads.
Fruit-scented shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and deodorant.
Boxes of various sizes and brands of tampons, stacked to fill the cupboard.
Jesse had been nesting... on freaking steroids.
But to do that, he'd been looking up ways to make his future mate feel at home. Researching what she would need—what I would need.
What I would want.
I dropped to my ass on the tile floor, staring blankly at the cabinet.
The wolf stood in the doorway, watching me with a tilted head.
"Jesse's not a bad guy at all," I said quietly. "Is he?"
The wolf shook his head for "no".
"And he's a nerd," I said.
The wolf tilted his head, confused.
"He studies a lot, and is really smart," I clarified.
The wolf's head bobbed again.
