Kingsley gave Serena a cheeky pinch while grinning. “You haven’t really forgotten about me, have you, Serena?”

Serena slowly turned around like a lifeless doll and pressed herself against Kingsley’s broad chest, asking, “A-Are you really Kingsley?”

In an instant, her eyes were red-rimmed with oncoming tears.

“I don’t.”
