They look like they’re very emotional, but in reality, they’re the most heartless. I don’t know if you will be emotional or heartless in the future.”

“They’re clean…” She ran her fingertips across his brow. “Clear.”

He sneered. She was drunk. Of course, his eyes were clean or clear or whatever. He’d showered this morning.

“It’s like… They have never been tainted by any sin… They’re clean…” She was so drunk that she didn’t seem to notice that her face was almost touching his. “Jay, don’t be afraid… I will… protect you…”
