Olivia made sure her friend got hsafe and sound, giving the housekeeper slast-minute instructions
before heading out herself.
Allison was sprawled on the bed, mumbling gibberish. Shannon had just reached the kitchen to whip up some
hangover coffee when the doorbell rang.
When she opened the door, Shannon was caught off guard. "Mr. Fisher, what are you doing here?"
"How is she?"
"Ms. Allison had a bit too much. | was about to make scoffee to help her sober up."
Joshua pulled out a few bills from his wallet. "You can take the night off; I'll look after her."
Shannon took the money. "Alright, Mr. Fisher, just givea sec to pack sthings."
She stepped aside, letting Joshua in.

Shannon placed a steaming cup of tea on the coffee table. "Please, have a seat, Mr. Fisher. | won't be long."
"Where's her room?"
Shannon pointed down the hall. "First door on the left."
Without bothering to rest, Joshua headed straight to Allison's room. The door was
slightly ajar. As he stepped in, he heard her muttering in her sleep.
"Joshua, Joshua..."
"Why don't you want me..."
Hearing her soft sobs, his heart twisted painfully.
He quickly moved to her side. Allison continued her fragmented sleep talk.
"Joshua, you're a jerk... | don't want you... Go away..."
His eyes softened, and he gently wiped away her tears, his voice soothing and tender. "Yeah, I'm a big jerk."
Even in sleep, Allison seemed to feel Joshua's presence and instinctively scooted closer. "Joshua..."
Her dream emotions swung wildly, one moment a fierce lioness t

"Joshua, don't go, don't leave me, | will be good..."
Joshua's heart melted. "I'm here. I'm not going anywhere."
His gaze was soft, overflowing with affection, feeling the warmth of her face against his hand.
A long-lost bittersweet happiness washed over him. He sat by her side, watching her for what felt like forever,
never getting enough.
Shannon was ready to head out, peeked through the door and saw the tender moment. She slipped away quietly

Unable to resist, Joshua leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss on Allison's flushed cheek.

She seemed to sense something, murmuring softly, wrapping her arms around Joshua's neck. "Joshua..."
Her voice had a sweet, playful lilt.
Joshua's spine tingled, a soft shiver spreading through him. His gentle kisses trailed from her brow to her cheeks,
lips, and down to her collarbone, lingering there and at her neck.
That night, Joshua stayed.

carried her to the bathroom and gave her a bath, throughout which
remained blissfully unaware.
Afterward, he tucked her into bed gently.
He sat in the chair beside her, watching her sleep, his expression full of gentle tenderness.
As dawn broke, Joshua finally rose, giving the sleeping girl one last tender look before quietly slipping away.
