“If you think it’s doable, that’d be best,” she said.
He was speechless as he drew close to her and pushed her up against a nearby cabinet. “Lina, am I not a man to you?”

“What happened yesterday? Did you really… take something
you shouldn’t have taken?” she asked in a mutter.
He stiffened. “Do you really want to know?”

The inquiry seemed to carry an inestimable weight.
Lina froze and then hummed a reply. ‘Yes, I want to know everything about you-good and bad!’
She wanted to know what had happened to him yesterday!
