Adrian Walyon paused for a moment, his hands slowly coming to a stop.
Summer Sutton had just casually mentioned it, not giving it much thought herself.
Facing the mirror, she continued fussing over the marks on her neck.
It's not winter now, spring has begun, and she's not dressed as heavily.
Adrian left quite a few hickeys on her neck; clothes probably won't cover them.
Looks like she'll have to rely on concealer tomorrow, covering as much as possible.
Adrian turned his head slightly, his gaze quietly resting on her, pondering her earlier words.
After a period of silence, he suddenly said, "What if I say yes?"
Summer was about to walk out, startled by his words, nearly bumping her head against the door.
Her back stiffened a bit, her face slowly turned, unable to believe what she heard.
Adrian offered no explanation, swiftly finishing his wash-up, and walked out.
Summer watched him pass by her, ears buzzing loudly.
He actually admitted such a thing!
