“Why don’t you come with me?”

It felt like a line from one of the romantic books she read. She wasn’t in a good mood for many reasons, but his loving stare stirred the passion hiding deep in her heart. She didn’t know what it was, but something felt different whenever he was around her.

You tricked me!” Rebecca was no longer hugging her husband. She was no longer crying either. She wiped her face with her sleeve and then asked, “Don’t you know you should knock before entering the room?” she glared at Amber.

“Sorry, ma’am,” Amber lowered her head, “but your uncle Nolan has fallen from the second floor’s balcony.”

I warned him a couple of times already to not get too close to the parapet, but he’s the type who’d do exactly what you tell him not to do.” “How is he?” Rebecca ignored Benjamin’s words and quickly asked Amber. “Is he…” “He’s not conscious, but he was brought inside,” replied Amber, her expression hinting that it wasn’t
