A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Zac and the woman got on the Rolls-Royce and soon disappeared. Far away from them, Essie's eyes stayed glued to the place they had stood earlier. It took her a long time to snap back into reality.

After mustering up some courage, she said, "You should sleep with me." This seemed like the only alternative to stop him from visiting that old woman. She decided to keep him by her side
