Sarah couldn't sleep. For an hour now, she'd been tossing in her bed. She

could still feel the lingering sensation of Gerald Salinger's earth-shattering

kiss. Leaving before dawn would be a good idea, she thought. She didn't

want to face him tomorrow. Sarah had never felt anything like this. How could

a simple kiss affect her so? She feared it will happen again just like what

he said. The next time it happens again, her resolve might only crumble. Yet

she was drawn to him, his enigma so beckoning. Sarah, started to punch

her pillow. He was starting to make a mess of her. Sarah shifted her body

he will start his scheme.

Sarah woke up early and started riding her horse. It took her about thirty

minutes to round the village. It was a Monday, the workers were visiting their

neighbors in a nearby town buying all kinds of stuff they need. Sarah won't be

expecting to see anybody until early tomorrow. She took her horse reins and

started walking towards the barn. She glanced at her watch. It was almost five

o'clock in the morning and was quite cold. The sun was beginning to rise. As

she neared, Sarah could hear someone bustling in the barn. After tying the

horse reins around a tree, Sarah immediately quickened her steps. She

slowly peaked in one of a window outside the barn. At first she could only see
