With her eyes shut, Maisie slowly lowered her hands that had initially pushed him away. She lay there tensely, anticipating the moment.
Daniel's kisses traced from her cheek down to her neck, heading lower...
He sensed her trembling breath, her body stiff with fear, and he felt that he consumed her heart. He was thrilled. This feeling was even more gratifying than the first time he had her.
Just then, Maisie's phone suddenly rang.
Both of them were startled by this unexpected noise. The ringing persisted as if it was determined that she would answer.
Maisie opened her eyes, feeling somewhat disoriented. Daniel had lost interest as well and silently gestured for her to answer the call.
The caller ID displayed Cindy. Maisie felt awkward and adjusted her clothing before moving to the window to take the call.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
All she could hear on the other end was a torrent of tears and cries. "Maisie, why is our family so unlucky?"
"What happened, mom? Stop crying... Calm down. What's going on?"
It took a while for Cindy to regain her composure, all the while sniffling and crying. She finally spoke. "Our... Our home... won't be demolished."
"What?"
