Realizing that Grace had asked something she shouldn't have, she quickly leaned down and kissed Ed on the lips.

However, he turned his head away from her, his tone hauntingly low as he asked, "Did you remember something?"

"No. My head's full of only you," she answered quickly.

"Really?" "Yup."

Her answer appeared to have pleased him as a faint smile tugged at his lips. He finally turned his face back toward her, allowing her to kiss him.

Grace exhaled in quiet relief, but before her emotions could settle, his grip tightened around her waist as he pulled her back into another fevered round of intercourse.

A wave of tiredness washed over her after it was done, and she drifted off to sleep while nestled in his embrace. Worn out and unguarded, she soon slipped into another dream.

In the fog, a blurry figure stood in the distance. Yet when he spoke, his voice was unmistakably gentle. He called her Grace, her name sounding tender coming from

his lips.

Her brows furrowed. Even in the dream, she seemed restless, caught between comfort and unease. Then, as if summoned from the depths of her subconscious, a single line of something she once wrote appeared-"Never trust Ethan".

She felt as if her body were burning in a sea of fire and someone's gentle hand was wiping the sweat from her forehead. She turned over, trying to escape the suffocating heat, only to be pulled back. His arms wrapped around her like creeping vines, holding her tightly.
