A sudden wave of fragility washed over her, reminding her of the precarious balance of their relationship. The
intensity of pleasure could create the illusion of closeness, yet beneath it lay an undeniable fragility she couldn't
ignore.
Out of nowhere, a question tumbled from her lips, soft and searching. “Have you ever lied toabout
anything?” Her tone held no accusation, only a quiet yearning for reassurance amid the torrent of emotion.
Kristopher froze. The recent lie he had told echoed in his mind. His heart skipped a beat as he nervously
responded, “No.”
The night unfolded into a symphony of delicate affection, leaving Carrie enveloped in a fatigue so profound that

Awaking the following morning, she was greeted by a notification on her phone: a Whatmessage from Ailyn
outlining the specifics of their upcoming reunion. Ailyn’s message also carried a “considerate” reminder.
“Make sure to bring your husband. If he’s tied up at work, just letknow—I’ll get my husband to talk to his

Kristopher, his eyes veiled by the tranquility of sleep, shifted beside her and extended a lazy arm to encircle her
waist. His fingertips accidentally grazed her phone.
Nestling closer, his voice, husky and tinged with morning drowsiness, floated through the air. “Who's got you

His breath, warm and teasing, fluttered against her ear, coaxing an involuntary shiver and a playful attempt to
escape his tickles.

soft click and setting it aside.
She then rotated to face him, sinking into the comfort of the pillow. Even with his eyes closed, Kristopher’s

He captured her hand and effortlessly pulled her into a closer embrace. “So, when is this reunion?” he asked, his
voice mellow and inviting.
She adjusted her hair behind one ear and settled more comfortably against him. “It's the day after tomorrow.

Their gazes locked. Gently cradling his cheeks, Carrie beamed at him. “Isn’t this an invitation already?” she
teased.
Kristopher, ever patient, clarified his question. “What | need to know is—do you wantthere with you? Just tell
Letting her hands fall, Carrie's voice softened into a playful lure. “Okay, yes, | do want you to joinfor the
reunion.”
At her words, a look of contentment spread across Kristopher’s face. He answered softly, “Alright, I'll be there.”
