Jonathan said, “I’m pretty sure I had a few drinks that night too. I didn’t think I’d see you in the elevator–and you were the one who made the first move. I couldn’t even push you away.

“Don’t act like you didn’t enjoy it.”

Teresa’s face turned really red. She couldn’t help but give him a strong kick. “Are you crazy?”

Jonathan took out his phone, pulled out a piece of hair he had hidden behind the case, and said, “Here’s proof. Still, you’re

all flustered and yelling at me.”

You’re crazy! Why are you keeping my hair? Seriously, what’s wrong with you?” She kicked him again, but with her flat boots, it didn’t hit as hard as her old heels.

After kicking him, she tried to walk away, but Jonathan held her wrist tightly. No matter what she said this time, he wasn’t letting go.

He said, “Let’s talk. Either get in the car, or we can talk right here on the street. If you’re fine talking about everything that night out here, I’m good with it.”

Teresa took a deep breath and decided to get in the car. Jonathan smiled happily as he pulled her inside. Once she was in, she took off his jacket and threw it back at him–she wasn’t cold anyway.

Jonathan’s face turned dark when he saw Teresa was only wearing a bra under her jacket. His voice was low and rough. “Keep my jacket on.”

He started the car. “So, where are you staying?”

I’m not sure yet. Just here in Everport for a trip,” Teresa said.

“So, you’re at a hotel?”

“Yeah.” Teresa avoided his eyes, just letting him think she was staying at a hotel.

Jonathan turned onto a busy street, looked at her with a faint smile. “You went to Silvar, then Jarisburg. Looks like we keep running into each other.”

Teresa froze for a moment, confused. She wondered, ‘How did he know I had been to Silvar?‘

Jonathan said, “We stayed at the same hotel. You left before I could find you—I checked the guest records. By then, you were already back in Nareigh.”

Back in Silvar, Michael kept saying he saw Jonathan, even said she smelled like him. Jonathan really was there, staying at the

same hotel.

She didn’t know what to say. After all those close calls, he never noticed the kid with her.

She couldn’t tell him the truth about Michael. She had already decided to say Michael was Sherry’s kid, but now, traveling with Michael in Everport was getting harder and harder to explain.

what brings you to Everport?” Teresa asked, changing the subject and looking at Jonathan.

“Just here for a little sightseeing,” he replied coolly.

The truth was, he had a business dinner that day. As he was leaving the hotel restaurant, he saw someone whose face looked just like hers.

He saw her walking into a karaoke bar. After saying goodbye to his clients, he quickly crossed the street to the karaoke bar, but when he looked around, she was gone. He thought he was just seeing things.

He never thought he’d actually run into her in the men’s restroom. Jonathan thought, ‘If I told Benny about this, Benny wouldn’t believe me.‘

The car stopped in front of a department store that was still open. “Wait here,” Jonathan said as he got out, locking the doors so Teresa couldn’t run away.

Teresa was speechless. While Jonathan was gone, she took out her phone and called Michael. She told him she’d be home late tonight, and if he got sleepy, he should just go to bed first.

“Mommy, I’ll wait for you to come back before I sleep,” Michael said, yawning a little.

Teresa said. “You really don’t have to wait for me. Just go to bed. I won’t be back until after midnight.”

“No way. I can’t sleep unless you’re home,” he said stubbornly.

T’ll try to come back as early as I can,” Teresa said, hanging up.

She tried the car door, but it was locked. She couldn’t open the window, so she just had to wait. When Jonathan came back,

he was holding a big bunch of roses and a shopping bag with a women’s shirt inside.

He gave both to Teresa. Teresa felt the weight in her arms and asked, “What are you trying to do?”

Jonathan said, “I’m just trying to impress you.”
