“Yup!” Jonathan nodded before exclaiming in surprise, “Why are you not in bed?”

“I’m not feeling sleepy yet.” Despite her words, Josephine’s bloodshot eyes betrayed her. It was clear as day that she wasn’t only sleepy, but very much so.

“What is it?” Sitting down beside her, Jonathan lightly inhaled the alluring scent that wafted off her.
