She felt gloomy, and she didn’t feel like socializing with her colleagues anymore. Instead, she walked alone to a corner and sobered herself up. The night wind which blew in from the mountains was chilly. Ava was wearing a flimsy shirt, and it made her shiver incessantly when the cold breeze gusted through her.

Suddenly, she felt a weight on her shoulders, and soon saw a thick beige coat fell on her body. The coat still had the remains of warmth. She turned around and saw Damien. “Why are you here?” Ava hurriedly took off the coat and returned it to him. Her colleagues would gossip about her if they were to notice this scene. He tapped her shoulder and assured, “They’re all drinking beer over there, so no one’s gonna come.” Probably because of his drunken state, his face was also flushing red.
