The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Zachary smiled faintly. "I might not remember her, but a person's instinct doesn't lie. She...captivated me."

Lilin did not quite understand it, but she said, "That's because you have good taste. Even though you don't remember her, you've never once fallen in love with that vile Sophia.
