Regret Came Too Late

Grace stood up and left the hospital. As she walked out, she yawned and wiped away a few tears. She was really starting to feel tired.

But as soon as she got in the car, she felt someone in the backseat.

A chill ran down her spine, and just as she turned around, a hot kiss slammed onto her lips.

Her car was parked under a large tree at the hospital entrance, and its thick branches cast a deep shadow over the vehicle, completely enveloping it in darkness.

But she still knew who it was. It was Ed.

She raised her hand, trying to push him away, but he kissed her even more aggressively.

"You lied to me."

His voice was filled with anger and a hint of frustration, as though he wanted to suffocate her with the kiss.

Grace's heart raced. Wasn't he living alone in that rundown little house? How could he suddenly show up here?

"Ed, I can't breathe. Let go of me."

But Ed didn't let go. Instead, he dragged her from the driver's seat to the back and held her tightly in his arms.
