Rachel took another step back, Victor halted his approach and stated, "Okay, I'm not going there."
Rachel was a bit relaxed to see that Victor did not get any closer.
The zipper on her garment was damaged, so she couldn't turn around and go.
For her, there was no leaving! Rachel's lips were pallid as she pressed them firmly.
Victor's fingers were still warm to the touch.
It was the heat emanating from Rachel's body.
Victor's temples throbbed even more.
At this point, the medication was still having an impact on him.
As much as he tried, Victor was unable to control himself.
While staring into Rachel's eyes, he ached even more.
Moments later, he said, "Forgive me."
In silence, Rachel kept an eye on Victor, but she didn't utter a word.
Victor's body had not lost its ability to absorb the medication.
He was well aware that if he stayed with Rachel any longer, he would go off the deep end again.
After apologizing, he walked to the second-floor bedroom.
As part of his effort to stay sober, he switched on the bathroom's cold water faucet and poured cold water over his head.
Rachel stood in the living room, watching Victor walk upstairs, before leaning against the wall and taking a flimsy seat.
All of her energy appeared to have vanished.
As a result of her dress's damaged zipper, Rachel was unable to go out for some time.
She had no choice but to remain there.
In the end, she wasn't sure whether Victor would return downstairs.
She leaned against the wall, afraid to shut her eyes in case he came downstairs unexpectedly.
When Rachel woke up, it was almost daylight.
With her arms wrapped over her knees, she was able to fall asleep.
A chilly wind wafted in just as the sun came up.
It was cold inside.
Rachel knelt and buried her face between her knees.
She was sleeping so deeply that she didn't know the door to the second-floor bedroom was opened.
Victor was numb from head to toe after a night of taking an ice-cold shower.
In a stroke of luck, the medication's effects had faded.He wasn't sure if he had harmed Rachel or not last night, but he was concerned that if he went downstairs, he might scare her again, so he chose to wait till dawn.
