Nathan froze in place. When he felt his clothes being clutched tightly, he turned around to look at Suzanne in the dark.

A flash of lightning echoed the skies outside, lighting up everything. It lit up Suzanne’s tearful, desperate eyes. It was a pitiful sight indeed.

That split second when their eyes met made Nathan soften immediately. It felt like his heartstrings had been tugged at.

Suzanne could scent his fragrance and feel his warm breath on her face. She blushed.

Nathan’s voice was magnetic and pleasant to the ears, making her heart tremble. She slowly released her grip on Nathan’s clothes.

Nathan saw how frightened she was and caressed her head. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be back right away.”

He then left the house.
