‘Was it because I had too much to drink? Teresa wondered.
She stepped outside, feeling better as the cool breeze caressed her face. Yet, she still felt warm. She had on a black cardigan beneath her white coat, and even with the coat unbuttoned, the heat wouldn’t fade.
She was about to drive home when she suddenly remembered she’d been drinking. Just as she reached for her phone to call Miriam, headlights flashed in her direction, and Jonathan’s car pulled up. He stepped out of the vehicle.
Teresa stepped out of her car, and Jonathan handed her a bag. “Sorry for missing your call. I was tied up. Here’s your scarf.”
She nodded, taking the scarf from him. As she turned to leave, she staggered and nearly lost her balance.
Jonathan grabbed her arm, steadying her. Noticing his flushed cheeks, he asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. It’s probably because of the alcohol,” Teresa replied.
“You had alcohol?” He frowned, then seemed to remember something. “I saw the photo. I don’t have that kind of wine at home; Simona probably brought it over. My mom sent her to meet me, but I only had a brief chat with her at a café nearby before sending her on her way.”
“You don’t need to explain that to me. I’m leaving.” Teresa said.
“Let me give you a ride,” Jonathan offered,
Teresa accepted the offer, which saved her the trouble of getting Miriam to come pick. her up. She felt so dizzy and uncomfortable that she just wanted to go home, take a bath, and sleep.
“How are you feeling?” Jonathan stole glances at Teresa as he drove, concerned. Seeing the flush creep from her cheeks all the way to her neck, he felt her forehead. Are you feeling feverish?”
Teresa shook her head, too weak to push him away. The cool touch of his palm was strangely comforting.
Jonathan’s phone rang again with a call from Irene. She’d been calling him nonstop, which was why Teresa couldn’t reach him.
“Hello?” He answered the call.
The moment Irene heard Jonathan’s voice, she chided, “Simona came all the way to see you, bringing gifts for you! I left so you two could have some quality time together. How could you not appreciate her efforts and even threaten to call the police? She’s devastated!”

“She’s been stalking me! She even followed my car today! How could I not call the police?” he retorted.
Irene came to Simona’s defense. “I was the one who told her you’d be back on January 3rd! She probably just happened to be heading the same way as you. You’re overthinking.”
“Stop making excuses for her. I’m not just uninterested; I’m outright disgusted by her,” Jonathan snapped.
“You…” Irene began, then paused to calm herself down. “If you’re not into her, I’ll talk to her. You can’t just treat her like that when she’s come all the way here.”
“Do whatever you want. I’m driving.” Impatient, Jonathan hung up and tossed his phone to the backseat.
Teresa raised a hand to cradle her throbbing head,
rise and fall. “Could you get me a bottle of water?ach breath causing her chest to
I’m thirsty.”
Jonathan cast her a quick glance before pulling into a nearby convenience store. He returned moments later with a bottle of water.
Teresa could barely open her eyes. Her vision blurred, but she could just make out his figure as he unscrewed the cap and handed her the bottle.
It suddenly dawned on Jonathan, and his expression turned grim. “Simona was there before I was back. She was the one who brought that wine. I think she wanted to drug me.”
Teresa kept tugging at the collar of her sweater. She felt like she was on fire.
Jonathan started the engine and turned the steering wheel. Instead of turning right. toward Rosary Estates, he veered left. “You have three options now. Hospital, your lover, or me”
She instantly knew what he was implying, but she wondered who he referred to as her
new lover,
“The one at the movie theater,” Jonathan explained.
*You mean Truman? We’re not together! I hardly see him!” she exclaimed.
Jonathan narrowed his eyes. “Really? You’ve been so distant, avoiding me completely. When I asked if you were seeing someone else, you ignored me.”
That’s because I’m hiding our son from you, Teresa thought, licking her dry lips. All she could think of was to keep him from discovering that Michael was her son. That was why she avoided him for nearly a month.
“I’m not going to the hospital! It’s too embarrassing to go to the hospital for something like this,” Teresa said.
“Do you want me to help you then?” he asked.
Teresa shut her eyes, leaning back against the car seat. It was better to lose face int front of Jonathan than in a hospital full of strangers. Her voice hoarse, she muttered,” Yeah. I’ll pay you after this.”
The car came to a sudden, jarring hall, jolting Teresa in her seat. If it hadn’t been for the seatbelt, she would have been thrown forward, She looked ahead and realized they were in the deserted Southmoon Lake Development Zone.
She could feel Jonathan’s anger simmering beneath the surface.
Without a word, Jonathan unbuckled Teresa’s seatbelt and leaned in, kissing her deeply. This kiss was far more intense than the one before.
“Sit on my lap,” he commanded.
