Maxwell Peary nodded. Only then did he realize that, with her eyes covered, she couldn't see him.
"I just found out."
He was exhausted. After Nia Mitchell left, he hadn't been able to sleep at all. So, he had casually looked into what she had been doing these past few days. Only then did he discover that such significant incidents had occurred: a robbery, an assault, and even her father being stabbed! All these events were brought to light, one after another.
She… She must have been terrified.
That's why there had been so many missed calls on his phone back then. He never expected such things to happen.

Maxwell Peary didn't remove the towel, still covering her eyes. In that position, he immediately moved closer.
His kiss came, hot and assertive.
"MMH…"
