Then he stood up, grabbed Olivia’s wrist, and said, “Let’s get out of here!”

Olivia thought it was perhaps time to talk.

She shrugged off his grip and replied, “Fine!”

Neither of them wanted to cause a scene in public, so they didn’t argue in the cafe.

They got into Dylan’s car, and he glanced at Olivia before hitting the gas.

When the car stopped, Olivia noticed they were at that old apartment building.

The place they used to call home.

From the passenger seat, she said flatly, “I don’t want to go inside that apartment again.

But Dylan was already unbuckling his seatbelt and getting out.

Olivia wasn’t going to play along but Dylan grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward the building anyway.

Olivia resisted but Dylan gripped her chin, forcing her to accept his kiss.
