Three Little Guardian Angels

Tanner looked back, started the car, and drove away.

When they returned to the apartment, Pearl took a shower.

When she was done, Tanner, who was smoking on the bed, crushed the cigarette bud in the ashtray.

"You can go home tomorrow."

He got up and walked toward her, then placed his hand on her cheeks and kissed her.

Pearl didn’t fight back but instead fell into his arms and made herself accept his kisses—her eyes were still empty.He didn’t tie her up that night but instead kissed her when he felt like it.

They were in a heated situation, but she just felt cold.

She couldn’t see the sympathy i n his eyes in the dark, and he couldn't see her hatred.
