Micah walked into the room and made a beeline for the couch. Everything seemed chill, no red flags. But he totally avoided looking at Sadie, not even a glance.

Sadie, though, couldn't stop staring at him. At first, she was sneaking peeks, but then she just straight-up stared. She noticed he didn't react at all, which made her uneasy. She furrowed her brows, watching him closely. Was something up with

his eyes?

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Sadie called out.

Aurora rolled in a cart, set some desserts on the coffee table, gave a little bow, and left.

Sadie poured some tea with her left hand and handed it to Micah. "Here, have some tea."

"Just leave it," Micah said, rubbing his nose, looking kinda worn out.

Sadie had no choice but to put the tea in front of him. To test him, she placed the cup right on the edge of the table, barely hanging on.

Sure enough, when Micah reached for it, he knocked it over. Hot tea spilled all over his pants, right in the worst spot.

Micah growled, "Damn it! You wicked woman!"

"You were careless; don't blame me," Sadie said, quickly grabbing some tissues and handing them to him. She glanced at his private area, concerned. "Are you okay? Need to go to the hospital?" she asked, worried. "You did that on purpose!" Micah snapped. He grabbed her wrist and yanked her onto his lap.

Sadie yelped, falling into his arms. Before she could react, Micah kissed her hard. It was intense and wild, like he was punishing her, getting back at her. He devoured her mouth, stealing her breath and throwing her off balance.

Sadie was caught off guard, her mind going blank. For a moment, it felt like they were back in the good old days, obsessed with each other, never getting enough. Every time they were close, they wanted to become one, never to be apart. That familiar feeling was back.

Right then, Sadie was honest with herself. She didn't want to push him away, didn't want to reject him. She just wanted to soak in this moment of tenderness.

Sadie's compliance made Micah even more obsessed. He held her tight, kissing her even more passionately.

He was scared she'd figure out something was wrong with his eyes and that he didn't have much time left. He knew she was suspicious, testing him. His sharp instincts only let him dodge her for now, so he used this to cover up. But this kiss seemed to unlock feelings buried deep inside them, pouring out uncontrollably, surging wildly.

After a long while, Micah finally let go of Sadie, resting his forehead against hers, kissing her lips tenderly. He whispered in a hoarse voice, "You still have feelings for me."

Sadie stayed silent, just closing her eyes, savoring this long-lost emotion. A complex mix of bitterness and deep sadness spread in her heart.

"You still love me, don't you?" Micah bit her lip and asked, "You've always loved me."

"I..." Sadie started to speak when her phone suddenly rang. She jumped and instinctively turned around, seeing Joe's name flashing on the screen. Micah's heart sank, and the next second, he coldly pushed her away.
