Sweet Submission: Reclaiming Her Love

Chapter 7 Come Back To My Side

After several rounds of drinks, Corynn set her glass down on the table, feeling a bit stifled inside the private

room.

Seeing that Jason and Erick were still chatting happily, Corynn excused herself quietly, mumbling something to Shirley about needing to go outside for some fresh air.

She had drunk quite a bit, and though she could still think straight, she had started to feel a bit dizzy.

Corynn headed to the bathroom to splash some cold water on her hot cheeks. She looked up at her reflection in the mirror, only to see that her face was flushed.

She leaned against the open window and drank in the fresh air, which sobered her up a little. Feeling satisfied and refreshed, she did a quick touch up of her makeup then grabbed her bag, ready to return to the private

room.

But just as she stepped out of the girl’s bathroom, she nearly ran into a tall man clad in black.

“Oh, excuse me, sir-” Corynn instinctively stepped back apologetically, only to find that the man she had run into had no intention of moving. Frowning, she looked up, her words catching in her throat as she recognized who it was–the man was none other than Elliot.

“I said, excuse me,” she reiterated, her eyes downcast.

Elliot stood there, motionless, staring at her familiar face in silence. Three years ago, Corynn had been delicate and demure, her straight, unremarkable hair a testament to her innocence. Now, her vibrant curls lent her a maturity that only deepened her allure.

Most poignantly, her eyes no longer held the familiar affection he once knew.

During the years Corynn was gone, Elliot dreamed of her every night, a persistent ache of loneliness gnawing at him.
