Christine stood by the French window for a while, and upon hearing some faint sounds outside, she turned around, drank the milk from the bedside in one go, and then went out with the empty cup in hand.

We'll take it slow." The unexpected embrace made Christine freeze. Normally, Yasmin did like these affectionate gestures, but they were usually when Christine was pretending to be obedient, so she was never surprised. But at that moment...
