    Ste seemed dazed by Weston‘s kiss.

    After the kiss, she saw something in her peripheral vision: the boxes of condoms that he had bought


    earlier. They were unused and casually ced aside. “Isn‘t that all a waste?” she asked.


    Weston touched her lips again. “Don‘t worry. We’ll need it soon.” Sounding a little breathless, he


    unwrapped one in his hand.


    “R–right now?”


    Ste‘s voice was a little raspy. Weston replied to her gasp with a lowugh. “My hand is so wet now.


    What do you think?”


    Ste blushed and buried her face in the nket again, refusing toe out.


    ***


    It waste at night when they finally stopped.


    By then, Ste was already very sleepy, but she still got up from bed after looking at the time.


    Roger should be awake by this time. She thought about it for a long time, not knowing how to exin it to


    him. Even so, he would get the news sooner orter. One day, she would still have to tell him.


    She did not want someone else to tell him about it and use the information against her. She would rather


    tell him her n now and let him wait for her aboard for a while. They would be free for good once


    everything was over.


    Ste became nervous after listening to the beeping dial tone. For some reason, she felt really anxious.


    She became more anxious because Roger was not picking up. She had just sent several messages and


    even called him, but there was no reply. This only served to worsen the bad feeling in her gut.


    She nced at the time again. After considering the time difference, she was sure that Roger was at


    home. Was he out with his friends ? Even so, he should‘ve carried his phone with him.


    Such a thing had never happened to them before. Roger would always tell her his whereabouts and


    ns, and despite the time difference, would still let her know about his schedule.


    Ste‘s worsening anxiousness affected her sleep. Wide awake on the bed, she looked out the window.


    Although it was not cold anymore, she still felt chilled to the bone.


    A few momentster, a gentle embrace came from behind.


    Weston pulled her into his arms. “What‘s wrong?” he asked with a silvery voice in her ear.


    Ste shook her head and sighed. “I called Roger, but he didn‘t answer...”


    Weston paused. “Are you going to tell him?” Ste nodded. “I’ll have to, eventually.”


    Weston gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Maybe he‘s caught up


    with something and didn‘t hear his phone ringing. Let‘s contact him tomorrow.”


    Ste nodded again. “But it‘s daytime there, and he‘s not in ss now. How could he not hear...”


    “Maybe he‘s out partying with his ssmates. Don‘t be so worried. He‘s an adult. He can take care of


    himself.”


    Even so, Ste was still anxious. She looked at Weston suddenly and asked, “Do you think the ones


    overseas have gotten the news?”


    Weston patted her head. “Don‘t overthink it. It won‘t be so soon. Even if he knows, it‘ll be fine. You‘ll have


    to tell him eventually.”


    After hearing that, Ste rxed a little, but she was still slightly restless.


    Weston leaned close to her ear and asked, “Can‘t sleep?”


    Ste nodded in reply, to which Weston sighed.


    “I guess we‘ll have to find a way to get you to sleep.”


    Ste immediately understood what he was implying.


    “D–don‘t… I’ll sleep now.”


    The next day.
