Angel suddenly flipped to the side and, at the same time, opened her eyes. She quickly sat up on her bed, and the darkness of her room greeted her first with silence, except for a few rays of light from the garden lights outside coming in through the transparent curtain. She turned to her bedside table and groped around for her phone. When she found it, she pressed the power button to check the time. It's one in the morning. She had been dreaming while she was deep in sleep, but the sudden thought of her sister made her jerk from her slumber.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzSUXKdw8o

She pushed the bed covers aside and dropped her feet to the floor, feeling for her bed slippers, which she managed to wear in an instant. Turning to the bedside table, she flipped the switch of her bed lamp, and it turned on. She sat there for a while, hoping that her sister had finally come home. There was something about the way she jerked awake that made her heart race. She had a funny feeling it had to do with Carly.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21NNG8r1oR
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrF4DgqLSa
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyxRrQeuNA
After grabbing her purple night robe at the foot of the bed, she wore it and started to make her way out of the room.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasF8X1L7fk
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXacMT6iKmm
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlArpX6jIc
When she stepped into the hall, the quietness and darkness of the whole house frightened her a little, but she soon got over it as she closed the door quietly and started to make her way down the hall to the flight of stairs.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvsvscKaR0
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3y2hqkntv
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudN7bgsykg
After making her way up to the landing, she made the quiet walk to Carly's room, hoping that she would find her sister sleeping in her bed. She wished she didn't have to do this, but as Carly's older sister, her safety has always been Angel's top priority.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8Ytx8XyIs
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAoDTDKGhk
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpQ06B1dzi
The closer she approached her sister's room, Angel's heart quickened. She didn't know why she felt like this, and she started to question herself. Did she have a bad feeling that maybe Carly didn't make it home after all? Or did she think if she were to open the door to Carly's room, she would find Leo and her cuddled up in bed together?420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjt7m9gERs
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVkFKoGBMS
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6dEFtqXAQ
Angel stopped in her tracks and shook her head, wondering why that last thought had suddenly popped up in her mind. That couldn't possibly happen, right? After the warning she gave Carly last time, the two of them can't be together right now. That would just be asking for trouble.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJRTc4JTpe
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWrkEfpqzp
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvf6LuQes1
Calling herself an idiot for thinking like that, Angel continued her way to Carly's room. When she reached the door, she slowly held the door knob and gently turned it, careful not to make a sound. As the door clicked open, she pushed it slowly.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFzSJz3Ayg
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli3zjv5c6K
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngGJLu48Nf
The view of the bed came into her sights, and lucky enough, she could make out someone inside the bed covers. Angel slowly made her way into the room without closing the door behind her, approaching the bed. She made out Carly sleeping alone on the bed under the covers. Angel heard her sister breathing deeply, and that made Angel feel relieved. Her sister was back safely. And alone on her bed.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkY2egsRD4
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCfU6TL7M4
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYReUgUAeX
Angel felt like slapping herself. It's absurd for Carly to be with Leo right now. She shouldn't be thinking such things.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGjksQlF4k
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h68TbO9UC
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIn9pM7VgY
She turned around and quietly made her way to the door. As soon as she stepped out of the room, she closed the door with so much caution. She can now sleep with ease knowing that Carly is back safely.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9kBhw3IhF

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7NVRxDzfU
Angel almost jumped with fright, and she made sure to cover her mouth so as not to scream. She quickly looked behind her and saw someone standing behind her in the dark. It was Leo.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSbu1tM06r
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRpYBtXJzg

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV1a1nWO0a
Angel looked at him and noticed that the door to his room was open. The bed lamp was switched on, and the light had partially found its way into the dark hall. She couldn't see his face clearly, but she could tell that he was in pyjamas with a sleeping robe on.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIIpdIGY3Q

"I'm not a kid you can order around," said Leo, and this time he wasn't whispering, but his voice wasn't so loud for it to echo in the hall.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPJzgF7P6L
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHnOafOeAO

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRteYyTl36X
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FiEBMC5fa
Leo scoffed, irritated over Angel's stubbornness. He tried to go around her again, this time out of the reach of her arms. But Angel, being smaller than him, was able to quickly face her back towards the door to Carly's room, with her arms still spread out wide. This time, Leo couldn't get through.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ygt3YiV0T
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTFgTv98H1

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhNygLJUV9

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga4eMLXrZ3
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Ecf3Uz1z
Before she could finish her sentence, Leo grabbed her by the shoulders and tried to pull her away from the door. But Angel was quick enough to hold on to the frame on both sides of the door. Seeing what she had done, Leo got even more irritated and pulled her with a little more force. But for some reason, Angel didn't budge.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcKLPD1F6T
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0imBYEebJc
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQOVybYDF5

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG2v22ghMS
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVchN2RaAS1
Leo continued to pull her towards him, and Angel's left hand slipped away from the frame. Knowing full well that she wasn't going to hold him off, Angel used her left arm to push Leo away when he made the attempt to go for the door on her left side.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMjcTaormN
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcgzS6FgvZ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTwJAW25zw
For someone smaller than her, Leo could tell Angel was strong and putting up a fight. But for how long? The fight between them was getting ridiculous by the minute. He had to put an end to this somehow.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTD1wRu3bV
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8O4vXVqle
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSKiphao61

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3cJQQvy4Z
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbGyP1qpVh
With her right hand still holding onto the door frame, Leo held her arm and brought it towards him. Angel almost lost her balance, but she spread her feet further apart so as not to move forward. Now the two were pulling and pushing at each other like two bulls in a fierce fight.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4q1ukIDiY
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dynupQKXd

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN37cZ8IXzX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDCy99VOrE
At the mention of her injuries, Angel felt her knees start to ache. Leo was right. Even she knew she couldn't keep up with this any longer. But then why was she still standing in his way?420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzxyYCg2qo
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1MAgAu1TM

Leo had been holding back on his strength. It took only one strong push towards Angel to make her lose her footing and move backward. Leo also moved forward, and Angel bumped her back onto the door. She felt herself falling to the floor, but Leo was quick enough to grab her by the waist to prevent her from doing so with his left arm. He also had his right arm above her head, leaning on the door to prevent himself from falling onto her.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Ds3W79Cb

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gbKH96QWx
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkpTI6BIZA
Angel looked up at him and realized just how close she had been to falling. Not to mention that he was so close to her. Her chest was so close to his body. She could clearly hear his heart beat along with hers. And she couldn't help but feel his strong arm supporting her. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed to have him so close. She could literally feel his body all over hers.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQE0sKQad3
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDoY7wxOgB
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFs25iiXG1
A murmuring sound came from behind the door. Angel and Leo looked at each other, knowing that Carly must have heard the noise they had made. They heard nothing more, and they realized that she had somehow fallen back asleep.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhiKPXvcQD

Leo looked down at Angel, and it was then that he realized his face was close to hers, and with his arm supporting her body, he was literally pushing her body onto his. Leo felt his heart start to race, and his cheeks started to heat up. He soon felt his body grow hot as well. With her chest on his, she could clearly feel her heart beat too.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8KknaF39N

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MoM0hwISk
A noise came from one of the rooms, and Leo realized that it was from his parents' room. Someone must be awake and getting out of bed, as he heard the creaking sound of a bed. He couldn't risk being found in the hall with Angel like this.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXI2j8hRY4
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU93GuW3P2V
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uH801yw0h
Without much thought, he brought Angel back to a standing position, and letting go of her waist, he grabbed her right hand and dragged her with him back to his room. Lucky enough, the door to his room was wide open, and they went right in.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVIM6HCufZ

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPZIDjjAnz
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi9KGzRd9I
Angel obeyed, and as they stood still in the darkness, they heard the creaking sound of a wooden door opening and, later on, footsteps walking down the hall. Soon they heard the sound of Mrs. McDonell talking to herself in the dark.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlPThmUaNy

The sounds of her footsteps as she headed back to her room made Angel and Leo ease up a little. Leo dropped his hand, covering Angel's mouth. When they heard the sound of the door closing, they could finally breathe.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh11amNuorS

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNenucqp196
Leo's mind soon went to the image they projected in the hall. Being so close to each other made him feel embarrassed. He realized that even now he stood close to her, his mouth close to her ear. It was then that the sweet smell emanating from her hair reached his nose. Her hair smelled like strawberries and cream. She must have washed her hair recently, he thought. He almost leaned closer to smell her, but he stopped himself as he bit his lower lip.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaovsEHUSsU

He quickly drew himself away and went back to his bed to switch on the bed lamp. He turned back to look at Angel standing in his room. This is not a sight we see every day, he thought.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6KxUbVRf9

"I'm guessing just like you," said Angel. Leo almost gave her a questioning look, but she quickly added, "Because you were able to hear her earlier."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbrHDnuStj

"And I told you that Carly was in her room, didn't I?" Angel sucked at her teeth. "Enough. We're just going to fight again."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkqDY2uSkK

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnLlB9OUrU

Leo found himself standing up and, without knowing it, coming face-to-face with Angel.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZFwoqPLmV
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ7EHUAiM6
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NttfVPFhU

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa1JyrEKRi

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O75SLNdQD
Leo continued to look at her, and if he had it in him, he would've taken her by the arm and thrown her out of the room. But that would only cause commotion, for she would definitely fight back. And that would wake up the whole house.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC4NpSxfmO

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV7mYoLg8A

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FxG0llg1g
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4GDcFCcej
Leo scoffed, and he went to sit at the foot of his bed. Angel really did know how to get on his nerves. And he wanted her to leave, but he had to wait a little while longer.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfXeBaCCV7
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRI4gGxQVG
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUFM1ApQpD
Angel went to sit on the armchair in the corner of his room, crossing her leg over the other and looking at the window. They waited in silence, not even giving each other a glance.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJwElH058u
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JzyR5v4aP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTJiFVQoKq
In what felt like forever, when only a minute had passed, Leo deeply sighed and stood up from his bed. Angel turned to look at him as he made his way to the bathroom. Before he could go in, he turned to look at her.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KToIfXurc
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzqW6KDYGX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxiPwmeE4I
"Don't even think of going out right now," said Leo. He opened the door and went in.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk4qUhNJXP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxxVT40IwB
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9H9QBPCjj
"And for how long do you expect me to just sit here?" Angel asked.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qz6N95bqS
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBWfvXHpme
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfI0lafJZG
"For as long as necessary," Leo answered from the bathroom.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyabJwr99ox
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWsx2AM3Fs
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPniUgTH8Fx
Angel raised an eyebrow. Did she hear him right? For as long as necessary? She can't stay for that long. She has to be awake again by sunrise, and she felt she had wasted a lot of time just being here.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUswOgEvp1P
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDH3YQqAga
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOJkzJrPRN
"You can't be serious, can you?" Angel asked as she heard the sound of the flushing toilet. "I can't be here for too long."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOXGRBwlqC
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6PGwlDKqV
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoql5ywBD8
"If I had had it any other way, you would be free to go. But this is my mother we are talking about," said Leo as he walked out of the bathroom. "The last thing she would want is to come into the hall and see you coming out of my room. She would guess something was up."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiNpY4YljR
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFz18fGu7q
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGYGg6OImY
Angel hissed, knowing Leo was right. But she can't stand to be in the same closed space with him. She looked up at the ceiling. What on earth did she do to deserve such a cruel punishment?420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHFnrW6M9I
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aBMkQD93R
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4BUWvlnnc
"Whatever. I'll leave here after twenty minutes," she said. She leaned her elbow on the arms of the chair and leaned the side of her face on her hand.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eBotGxeNM
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTnilD0O3u
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpnqC69a3k
Leo could tell how upset she was, but all this was out of his control. He went back to sit on his bed. Now didn't feel like the perfect time to go back to sleep, not when Angel was in the room. She might just stuff his face with a pillow.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasmWsr73gM
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoU3RTjdfY
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj5xjj0fQo
The two sat in silence as the minutes dragged on. Leo, at some point, felt sleep start to creep in. He sat a little upright, trying not to doze off. His eyes immediately focused on Angel, who was slouching in the chair and still had her arm supporting her face. He wanted to call out to her, but he looked on as she closed her eyes. There was a serene calmness on her face that made Leo look at her even more. He had to do something soon, though. Angel's arm was going to lose balance, and she might be jerked forcibly into a wake.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYUy1Z0FSA
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMbOeFdoYU
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKFrdsgPCN
He stood up from his bed and approached her. He took her hand, which supported her head by the wrist. Angel's eyes flew open at his touch, and she looked up at him.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizB5AZCDXA
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkffsaBiw7

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FtPBeoAQn

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTVjbwsIhx
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOxaMrYrWX
As he held on to her wrist, he gently pulled her up from the couch. Angel rubbed the sleep away from her eyes with her left hand. She looked down at her right wrist and then up at Leo.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwPveMtCoV
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pLPQC2LlV
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjsm1Kwjrs

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhj0XI6eWj
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITNGhtkUEM
Leo hadn't even noticed it. He quickly let go of her wrist and looked away. He stepped aside for Angel to head to the door.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKmgSgbcSF
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX00CBqZvwQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6zgFFZwwV
After making her way there, Angel stopped and turned to look at Leo. "Oh, thanks for what you did back there," she said. "If it weren't for you, we would've been in big trouble."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmEhM7QCTQ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6JcBH0biv
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFYLLTIXIi
Leo was not expecting those words to come from her mouth. He looked down at the floor before looking back at her in her purple night gown. Looking at her now with only the bed lamp light on made his heart flutter as the light threw off a glowing ambience that made him want to look at her. There was something about her appearance in the light that made her look like a being from another world.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MhRfyh8pn
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Moohyr1BX
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEFYPsJ0kf
"Uh...I," Leo said, doing his very best to shake off the trance he was in. "Whatever. Maybe if I had listened to you before, we wouldn't have been in this mess."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N1ZtudXYy
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdCqHTXAD3
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwDmsEKxc2
Angel chuckled. That made Leo's cheeks heat up in an instant. "I'll see you in the morning. In the daytime, I mean."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k0KiBwgOP
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYexKbtTj7z
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa1xYcryc0
Angel turned to the door and opened it. She quietly walked out of the room, and as soon as she closed the door, Leo stood there, wondering what that was all about. He didn't want to think too much about it, but the image of Angel standing there by his door stuck in his mind. He told himself to shake away the thought as he approached his bed and went inside the bed covers, switching off the bed lamp.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVL89JSsW3

Leo put his head on the pillow, and as he looked up at the dark ceiling, he could still see Angel smiling at him. He swallowed as he thought of the conversation he had had with his aunt on the patio. What if she was right? Leo thought of the possibility, and that made his body grow so hot that he flipped to the side, trying to ignore his insane thoughts. He kept telling himself that Carly was the one for him and that there was no one else.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStwmeVSIjH

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78BWVisa8z
"Yes, I did," Leo lied as he came to sit beside Eric at the dining table. He did his very best not to yawn. The last thing he needs is Eric taunting him.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CZN9a1Z66

Running footsteps came into the dining area, and Leo looked up to see Oliver quickly take a seat opposite him at the table. Angel and Diana came in after him, slowly walking to the table.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xSqgL6Vzo

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA8wLP7UZJ
Eric and Leo responded to their greeting. Leo looked at Angel as she took a seat next to Oliver, directly facing Eric. He noticed that, unlike him, she looked rested. Good for her, he thought. He couldn't fall back asleep so easily, and he wished he could get an hour of it before going to work.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5CZEjaSzF

Angel had been smiling at Eric after he complimented her on how beautiful she looked this morning. She thanked him, and her eyes flew to Leo. It was then that he realized that he had been staring at her the entire time. Whatever happened last night must have messed him up badly. He felt like he couldn't even think straight.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKLjup39e8

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe784HHX4b

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3xVIQTLbt
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjYmrHBZgK
Angel looked right next to her and stretched her hand to grasp the coffeemaker by the handle. As she did so, Leo's eyes fell on her neatly combed hair. She had combed it into a ponytail today as she wore a white office shirt. He remembered how her hair smelled of strawberries and cream a few hours ago. That made him shake his head as he tried to get rid of the memory.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZLnLKthQQ

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZmZ3nXxRJ

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGvcCmROJ3
Diana had already poured herself a glass of mango juice, and she lifted the glass to her lips, hiding a smile. Leo knew what she was thinking, and with his eyes, he told her that it wasn't what she thought.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhDmjf7wb7

Leo turned to look at her and found that she had gotten up from her seat with the coffeemaker, stretching out her hand to pass it. Leo also stood from his seat and took the coffee maker from her. He had to take it from the handle, and he couldn't help but brush his fingers over her hand.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjIe1fFdHS

Instantly, flashes of what happened between the two of them in the hall came back to him, and he kept telling himself to pull it together.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje5ZarMFFn

Mrs. McDonell suddenly walked into the dining room and greeted everyone. Every person at the table responded except for Leo, who felt like he needed air.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6RvdBu8jb

420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeXvB8Y1jp
"Goodness," said Mrs. McDonell as she sat at the other end of the table. "Did anyone hear a strange noise in the house? I thought it was Carly, but I was awake when she came home at midnight. I woke up to check what must have caused it, but found nothing unusual."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJsf2AtUpZ
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO87fyYDLe
"It must have been me," said Angel, responding apologetically. "I had come up to see Carly and must have banged the door a little loudly. Sorry for that."420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8YMEX5Jk5

Leo's eyes widened. Did his mother just reply to Angel in a calm manner? It was so unlike her. It wasn't only him who had noticed. Oliver looked at his aunt like he was looking at an entirely different person. Eric shared a glance with Leo, wondering what was going on. Diana, at the far end of the table, looked at Bertha with her eyebrows raised. Leo soon looked back at Angel, who went on eating her breakfast. How did she do that?420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7PnAMTF03

Mr. McDonell soon came to join them for breakfast, and as soon as everyone was done, they started to clear the table one by one to get ready to get out of the house. It was now just Angel, Eric, and Leo. They had stayed for a bit as they got engaged in a conversation in which Leo took little part. As they stood up to leave, Eric left the table faster than them, saying that he had to rush to get something in his room.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8x63BcMa5

The sound of her phone beeping made her open her eyes. She reached out for the phone beside her and saw that she had a text message from Red Lion. She quickly sat up to read the message. It read that he was thankful for the work she did last night. But the last line of his message made her heart beat fast. She was fully awake now. It said that he would be hearing from him soon.420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCnVJwjeo2

She quickly blocked his number. After setting her phone aside, she fell back onto her bed, hoping that the message and what happened last night never happened.
