"You're welcome. It's no biggie," the boy said as he turned around to leave.
Melody then called out to him. "What's your name? I'll pay you back another day."
"I'm Sherman. Don't worry about it. It's not that expensive anyway." Sherman smiled warmly at her and left.
Melody looked at the sanitary napkin in her hand and felt a fuzzy feeling in her heart. As he left, she silently repeated the name to herself, "Sherman."
The boy from her memory had grown into a handsome and elegant man. He walked toward Melody with a glass of juice and said, "Here's some juice."
The scene was almost a deja vu as he placed the drink in front of Melody and said, "I'm not sure which flavor you prefer, so I just took one at random."
"Thank you." Though her response was the same as when she was 18, things seemed to have changed drastically since then. At times, she wondered what things would have been if she was braver. Perhaps her story with Sherman would have a better ending. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.
"You haven't told me about your relationship with the host of this banquet." Sherman sat down and asked her again.
Melody snapped back from her reminiscing, but she found it difficult to answer his question. She did not want Sherman to know that she was 'married', and she selfishly wanted him to have a good impression of her.
"You're still as quiet as always." Sherman gently patted her forehead, eliciting a blush from Melody. "You've been like that ever since high school."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
