"It was fun," I spoke while strolling in the lobby with enthusiasm. "We did almost five rounds, and every time I won against him," I said with a smile on my face.
Albert made a call when Jeremy dropped me at my place. I was telling Albert everything that had happened today at Everett's private estate. About the riding and all the stuff.
"That's nice," he said from the other side.
"Yeah, and we did barbecue after that, and there's a big garden in front of their house where their mother grows different kinds of carnations. They were so beautiful-I enjoyed so much there."
"It means you're doing well there without me, huh?" he teased, and I let out a chuckle. I started climbing the stairs while chatting with him about my day; he was listening to me with full attention.
I told him that Jeremy had confessed his feelings to me, and Albert acted surprised after hearing it. "Did he?"
"Yes, he did." And suddenly, the incident that happened this evening between us replayed in my head.
Don't let these words come out of your mouth, not even as a joke.
I can't erase the memory of his reaction. The fire in his eyes was undeniable, burning with an intensity I never expected. Something so small, so seemingly insignificant, had ignited a fury within him that was both terrifying and mesmerizing.

"Yeah?"
My heart skipped a beat, goosebumps appeared on my skin when I got to my house and found the door unlocked, which made me wonder if I had forgotten to lock it.
"I'll talk to you later," I whispered and quickly creaked the door open with trembling hands. My heart thumped loudly as I walked inside.
I found my mother sitting on the couch, sipping liquor.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, a bit too loudly, and sat at a good distance from her.
