“I really like you. I’ve liked you… for so many years. I just want to be with you, forever if I

could…”

Adeline’s voice was soft and sweet as she poured her love into every kiss.

But those words struck Victor like a bucket of ice water. His frenzy shattered, rity flooding back.

Of course. She liked her senior.

The only reason she was kissing him was because she was drunk, mistaking him for that man. And he… he had shamelessly gone along with it, even knowing he wasn’t the one she loved.

Her simple white blouse, her palevender skirt–he noticed now that in his moment of lost control, her shirt waspletely unbuttoned.

His hands froze, shame crashing down on him. For the first time, the alwaysposed Victor had no idea where to put his hands or his eyes.

The beauty right before him tempted him, luring him closer.

But he couldn’t. He dared not.

Her heart belonged to someone else, someone she couldn’t forget.

And as for him–he wasn’t even free. Things with Marilyn weren’t settled. There was even the chance she might be carrying his child.

A man like him had no right to Adeline.

He squeezed his eyes shut, fighting to pull away. Just then, the weight in his arms shifted.

He looked down.

The girl who had just been kissing him so boldly nowy limp against his chest, fast asleep. “Adeline… I’ll take you ito /ia hotel.”

He froze for a moment, staring at her gaping blouse, then slowly raised a hand to button it back up.

Usually, buttoning a shirt was nothing. He wore them every day.

But this time, his fingers shook. The brush of her skin beneath his fingertips sent shocks through him, each button harder to fasten than thest.

Her breathing was light, her chest rising and falling in a rhythm that unsettled him, making his pulse falter.

He wrenched his gaze away, cheeks burning. But with his eyes turned aside, his fingers lost their aim, grazing ces he shouldn’t touch, leaving him red–faced and flustered.

By the time he finished, a thin sheen of sweat clung to his back.

Once certain her clothes were neat, heid her gently across the back seat, then stepped into the driver’s seat. The night air cooled his skin, but couldn’t put out the fire burning in his chest.

At the hotel, he carried her into the room. He had nned to ask the staff for a sobering remedy, but seeing her sleeping so peacefully, he didn’t want to wake her.

He should have left after settling her down. That was the n.

But shey there with flushed cheeks, breathing evenly, looking so soft and defenseless. He couldn’t bring himself to go. He decided to wait until she woke.

“Hey…”

Her murmur broke the silence. Dreaming, she whispered, “I like you… I really, really like you…”

Victor took an involuntary step closer. This time he heard it clearly–she was calling for her senior.

A sour ache spread through his chest, sharp as needles pricking over and over.

She slept soundly, asionally whispering that same word.

And Victor, carrying that bitter ache, stood by the window all night.

When Adeline finally woke, morning light filled the room.

She felt surprisingly well–no headache, no hangover.

Her memories, too, were intact. She remembered being carried to a car, remembered her drunken rambling, her hands wandering, even talking nonsense about 34…

Her eyes flew open. She sat up quickly, checking herself. Her clothes were in ce, her body felt fine. Relief eased her chest.

Then she heard movement. She turned–and saw Victor standing at the window.

Their eyes met.

Adeline pinched herself hard. It hurt.

Which meant he was real.

And if Victor was really here with her, thenst night hadn’t been a dream at all.

She really had kissed him. Drunkenly, shamelessly… she had actually taken advantage of him.
