"Don't joke around like this." Melody's tone carried a hint of pleading. Her fragile heart could not withstand Lucas' repeated jokes. It might have been a casual remark to Lucas, but for Melody, it was another instance of him adding fuel to her infatuation. "I'm not joking. Why would you think I'm joking?" Lucas keenly sensed Melody's unease and added, "I'm downstairs right now." Melody's breath stopped for a few seconds. 'He's downstairs? What does that mean? Does that mean he's here at my dormitory?'

"Don't you believe me? If you don't, come to your balcony and see for yourself," said Lucas, sounding somewhat amused.

Lucas chuckled at Melody's reaction. "Just come out and see for yourself whether I'm lying. Take your time, and don't rush. I'll be waiting downstairs for you."
