Seven knocked on the door and called out, “Hey, kid, come out already. Ms. Wood is out too. We’re leaving. If you don’t come out, we’ll leave you here alone!”

Sterling just rolled his eyes at the door.

Cassia always knocked on his door before leaving. She would never ditch him.

“Hey! Don’t believe me? Fine then. Ms. Wood, let’s go.”

Seven put on a show, walked to the front door, yanked it open, and then slammed it shut.

“Ms. Wood already left.”

He shot Draven a shushing look, signaling him to help trick Sterling.

Draven just looked at Seven like he was an idiot.

At first, Sterling wasn’t fooled. But as the quiet dragged on, his heart started racing.

After waiting for a long time, he couldn’t sit still anymore and got up.

Seven crept over, pressed his ear to the door, and heard tiny movements inside. He knew Sterling was about to fall for it.

He waited for Sterling to come out.

Seconds ticked by. Finally, the door cracked open.

It was just a tiny gap. From Sterling’s angle, he couldn’t see anyone.

It was dusk, and Seven had turned off the living room lights, so everything looked shadowy.

Had they really left?

Sterling’s panic grew, his eyes turning red.

He hurriedly shoved the door open and stepped into the living room–only to see Draven sitting on the couch.

Sterling froze.

“Heh–gotcha!” Seven laughed and stepped in front of the door, blocking Sterling from

retreating.

Sterling instantly realized he’d been tricked.

His chest tightened, and a strange fear bubbled up.

“Mmm…” He hugged his head and squatted down, trembling all over.

Sterling’s sudden spiral terrified Seven.

“Hey, hey! Kid, calm down! I didn’t mean anything! Don’t cry! Man, crying freaks me out!”

Seven hopped around Sterling in a fluster, totally at a loss, looking more ridiculous by the second.

“Mr. Grey, help me here!”

Seven threw a desperate look at Draven.

Draven shrugged helplessly. “I’ve never comforted a guy before.”

Seven was speechless.

What guy?! He’s ten years old!

And the way you said it… like you’ve comforted girls before…

Clearly, Draven was no help. Seven had to fix that himself.

Swallowing his pride, Seven made goofy faces at Sterling.

“Look! Am I funny?”

Seeing Seven scrunch his eyes and mouth together, Sterling couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

“Ha! He laughed! Mr. Grey, see that? I’m awesome, right?” Seven grinned proudly at Draven.

Draven just shot him a look that screamed idiot.

Click.

The door opened again. Draven turned.

When he saw the girl step out, a flash of amazement crossed his brown eyes.

Her hair flowed over her shoulders, and she wore a fitted red evening gown.

The dress hugged her perfectly, with detailed patterns and a rose–like design.

With gold–trimmed heels on, she looked like a crystal–clear spring flowing over snowy peaks- cool, graceful, and untouchable.

That mix of charm and noble coolness, the kind of calm distance that could make anyone fall at first glance, was mesmerizing.
