The next morning, Sierra had just gotten up and was about to start breakfast when she saw John already there. He was wearing a casual outfit in dark colors. Not a suit for once, and he was carrying a bag of steaming hot breakfast in his left hand.

“Tommy isn’t up yet?” John set the food on the table naturally.

“No,” Sierra answered.

John started to walk toward the bedroom.

Sierra stopped him. “What are you doing?”

“Waking him up,” John said.

Sierra was speechless.

It didn’t feel like John was here to celebrate Youth Day with Tommy at all. Rather, he was here to make things difficult for both

of them.

“The amusement park isn’t even open this early. He finally has a day off, so just let him sleep a little longer,” she said.

“Sure,” John said. He didn’t go any farther in.

John was quite tall. Just him standing there was enough to make the whole place feel even smaller. For a second, Sierra really wanted to kick him out.

“Go back and wait next door.” She kicked him out. “I’ll call you when Tommy wakes up.”

John looked at her; his dark eyes seemed to be examining her.

Being watched like that made Sierra feel uncomfortable. She frowned and became somewhat guarded. “Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Are you scared?” It was a question, but he was sure of the answer.

Sierra didn’t bother answering. The more she said, the more she could slip.

The next moment, a warm hand closed around her wrist. John’s hand pulled her in, and before she could get a word out, he dragged her straight into his arms. “Come here.”

She hit his chest, and his familiar scent wrapped around her; a nice, clean scent entered her nostrils. For a heartbeat, she felt like she had been thrown back into the past.

“Let go.” She put her hands on him and pushed.

“You can be louder,” John said as he felt the softness of the woman in his arms. His heart soothed. “Best case, you wake Tommy

up.”

Sierra glared at him, angry.

John bent down and pressed his forehead into her shoulder. While she struggled, he finally said to her in a low voice, “Don’t move. Let me hold you for a while.”

All the feelings she had been holding down rushed up at once.

Anger.

Hurt.

What did he think she was?!

Sierra didn’t even know where the strength came from. She braced both hands against him and shoved hard, forcing half a step of distance between them.

“Don’t touch me.”

The emotion in John’s eyes had already faded.

After that talk with Pamela last night, he had a dream. He dreamed Sierra had left him. In that dream, he used every trick and scheme he knew, yet he still could not keep her.

That hollow feeling when he woke up left him desperate to see her.

That was why he had come so early.

“Looks like you didn’t just get a worse temper. You got stronger, too.” John pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at her like she was a wild beast. “You think you’re some cave girl now?”

Sierra grabbed the cup beside her and raised it, ready to throw it at him.
