My humming faltered

Td overdone it at lunch, and I was still a bit hazy in the afternoon.

He’d let me rest in the office, and when it was almost time to leave, he told me I could home

I thought I wouldn’t see him again today.

I took my shopping bags from the passenger seat and walked toward him

“Mr. Shaw, what are you doing here at this hour?” I stood before him, my tone casual, as if I had simply run into my boss,

my friendliness laced with insincerity.

The light under the tree was dim, but a nearby lamppost illuminated our faces enough.

I smiled brightly.

Xander’s deep, unreadable gaze moved from my face to my bags.

“You’re sober now?”

“Yes,” I nodded. Actually, I’m a pretty good drinker. I get drunk fast, but I also sober up quickly.”

“I can see that. You sobered up quickly,” he said with a smile.

“I wasn’t really that drunk. I always drink responsibly,”

“You are quite responsible,” he chuckled.

I tightened my grip on the bags, silence falling between us.

My casual act was crumbling under the tense quiet.

Xander remained silent, calmly observing me, his gaze penetrating but unspoken, making me feel like I was on trial.

I felt suffocated.

My mood grew increasingly irritable.

It was already hot and stuffy, and now there were mosquitos buzzing around, making me itch.

My wolf was equally restless and agitated, “WHY DOES HE HAVE TO MAKE EVERYTHING SO CLEAR?! WHY DOES HE HAVE TO MAKE US SUFFER?”

“Did you come to see if I was sober?”

My tone edged with impatience.”I’m sober. You’ve seen that. You can go home now.”

Xander still didn’t speak.

Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore.”Fine, whatever. I’m going upstairs. There are too many mosquitos here. You can stay and feed them,” I turned to leave.

Xander caught up and stepped in front of me. I bumped into his chest.

“It’s late! What do you want? Do you want me to get some rest?”

“Take a walk with me,” he said.

“No! I want to go upstairs, shower, and sleep!”

“Don’t be so angry.”

I wanted to hit him with my shopping bags.

Samder fast the bags from my hands, then took itry hand, rubbing my hand reassuringly.

“Just a short walk, okay?

I calmed down slightly. “Thirty minutes.

Xander: Okay, thirty minutes.”

He pulled me towards the side of the road. “Let’s go feed the mosquitoes.”

We walked for a while, arriving at a children’s play area. I pulled away, sitting on a swing. “I’m tired. I’m not going anymore.”

Xander put the bags down, went behind me, and pushed the swing.

Each time it swung back, he caught me, using the opportunity to chat.”I went home earlier.”

I gripped the ropes, my heart fluttering as I swung.

The next moment, a warm hand landed on my waist.

I fell into his arms again.

I was once again surrounded by his familiar scent. That same scent that makes me lose myself.

“I told my mother that she scared my secretary, and asked her to stop her daughter from scaring you.”
