"How are you, Melody? Is your ankle better?" asked Monica.
Melody smiled. Monica's enthusiasm was always contagious, and Melody could not help but feel uplifted by her positivity.
"I'm mostly recovered, but I still can't put weight on my left foot for the next few days. I might need you and Penny to help me," Melody replied with a smile.
Monica nodded. "It's so good to have you back. Now we can discuss the script together every day."
With Lucas having many things to attend to, they did not engage with him much and would follow his lead on how to address the rumors.
Once Melody was settled in, and seeing her enjoying her conversation with Monica and the others, Lucas simply bade them farewell before leaving.
After Lucas left, Monica finally mustered the courage to ask Melody, "Why the sudden move to the set? Your foot injury seems serious. Wouldn't it be more convenient to stay at home for now?"
Melody sighed, not wanting to delve into the details. "I have my reasons. What's the matter? You don't want me to stay in the dorm with you?"
Monica shook her head. "Of course I do! The more people living on set, the better. It'll be lively, just like when I was in school."
Melody smiled.
Noticing her inadvertent display of fatigue, Penny quickly pulled Monica away, and they left. The dorm, which had just been bustling with activity moments ago, suddenly felt empty.
It was not as spacious as the room she shared with Lucas at home. When she was with Lucas, every corner of that space seemed filled with his presence. In contrast, living alone in the dorm felt desolate and chilly.
Still, this was her choice, and she had no regrets. Creating some distance between herself and Lucas could give them both clarity on what they truly wanted.

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...
