Chapter 117

Early the next day, Caroline woke up. She hurriedly lifted the blanket, only to find her clothes

intact. They hadn’t done anything last night.

“You’re awake?”

Caroline looked up and saw Kirk coming out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around

made Caroline’s heart pound, and her face turned crimson.

Kirk fiddled with Caroline’s earlobes, saying, “You fell asleep last night.”

phone, and… she’d fallen asleep.

Her face reddened even more as she apologized, saying, “I’m sorry!”

Kirk pulled her into his arms, asking, “How do you plan to make it up to me?”

Caroline quivered and said shyly, “C–close your eyes.”
