Jane answered it pretty quickly. “Hey, where are you?”

“In front of your apartment. Come to the window, and you’ll see me.”

“That’s great. I’m on my way, but keep talking… I like how your voice sounds on the phone.”

“Hmph, didn’t you also try to kiss Rebecca’s husband’s lips?”

Jane went silent. She then hung the call because she was already standing at the entrance of the apartment. She could see Benjamin, and he could also see her.

It was burning hot. He put his finger under her nose, and her breath felt hot, too. He opened one of her eyes and observed for a little while. “This is…” he pulled her sleeves up. There were blister-like rashes
