“Huh…” Eddie let out a chuckle.
“What’s so funny?” Vicki asked, her tears still hanging at the corners of her eyes.
Eddie lowered his head to look at her. In the darkness, he couldn’t see her face clearly. “Vicki, you’re much braver than lam,” he said softly.
She looked so gentle, but she was way braver than he was.
Vicki wrapped her arms around his neck. “Maybe I just can’t help myself because I like you too much.”
She was a girl, after all, and just as shy as any other girl.
But Eddie kept pulling away; he never dared to come closer to her.
So she had to be the one to make the first move.
“You like me?” Eddie asked, deeply moved.
Vicki replied, “Come on, have I not made it obvious enough?”
Eddie was overwhelmed with emotion. He lowered his head, kissing her with infinite tenderness.
The next day, Vicki and Eddie were woken up by a knock on the door.
“Eddie, Eddie, are you up yet?” Camilla called out as she knocked on the door.
Vicki snapped awake. “Cami!”
She opened her eyes and found herself lying in Eddie’s arms.
Both of them were completely naked. Vicki instantly scooted to the side, yanking the covers over herself.
All that boldness from last night vanished, replaced by pure embarrassment.
She hid under the blanket like a quail, not even a single hair peeking out.
Eddie was also woken up by the knocking.
Now that the blanket was gone, the first thing he noticed was that hint of crimson on the white sheets.
Eddie couldn’t help but smile.
“Eddie?” Camilla was still knocking on the door.
Eddie quickly threw on some clothes and went to open the door.
“Camilla, what is it?” Eddie asked.
Camilla stood at the door and said, “Eddie, you were chatting with Vicki all night. Do you know where she went? She didn’t stay in the guest room we arranged for her.”
Hearing this, Eddie looked back into his room…
Camilla caught his reaction, her eyes widening as she gestured toward the room. “Wait, is Vicki in there with you?”

Eddie smiled gently, “Yeah.”
Camilla got the hint. “Alright, get yourselves together and come downstairs for breakfast.”
Then, Eddie closed the door.
Vicki was still curled up under the covers, refusing to come out.
Eddie gave her a gentle pat through the blanket. “Vicki, Cami says it’s time for breakfast. Let’s go downstairs.”
“You go on ahead,” Vicki said, her voice muffled.
Eddie could tell she was embarrassed.
The alcohol probably played a part in her boldness last night.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you downstairs,” he said.

As he spoke, Eddie caught sight of Vicki’s strapless dress lying the floor. He remembered the marks he’d left on her last night, and that dress definitely wouldn’t do much to hide them.
Eddie added, “Vicki, hang on a sec. I’ll ask Camilla to bring you something
“Okay,” Vicki replied from under the covers.
Eddie felt a bit helpless.
If he didn’t leave, Vicki would probably keep hiding under the covers all day.
to wear.”
He went to Camilla and asked for a brand new dress, set it down by the bed, and hurried out of the room.
Ten minutes later, Vicki finally opened the door.
To her surprise, Eddie was right there waiting for her.
“Eddie,” Vicki called out, her voice soft as she blushed.
Eddie smiled as he looked at the dress she was wearing. It was pretty modest, and it successfully covered every part that shouldn’t be exposed.
He held out his hand to her. “Let’s go.”
Vicki, blushing and smiling, slipped her hand into his.
Eddie instantly laced his fingers with hers, and just like that, their hands were perfectly entwined.
Vicki lowered her eyes, her face lighting up with a bright smile.
