The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Jeremy leaned into the seat, so Corinne did not see him when she woke up. She just thought he was part of the seat. It was not until he moved his body that the light from outside of the car fell on his face.

Jeremy glanced sideways at her. “You should first ask yourself why you fainted on me of all people.”

Corinne remembered someone scooping her up from behind to prevent her from falling before she blacked out.

‘So it was Jeremy who saved me…’ thought Corinne. She decided to be nicer to him since he did her a big favor.

“Sorry, I must’ve fainted because of low blood sugar. Thank you for saving me. Well, I guess I’ll be off, then,” she said.
