She didn’t know why, but she would instinctively look for him as soon as school was over. She told herself it was wrong. However, she couldn’t shake Daniel from her mind as if she was bewitched.

As she opened the door to the apartment, the door across from her opened, revealing Graham with a smile on his face. He walked toward her.

“I… I don’t have a kettle here. Can I have a cup of tea at your place?” he asked.
