“Stop acting like a baby,” Avery said in a low and gentle voice as snazzynovel.com wiped down Elliot’s face. “Do you think I want to care for you like this? You stink of booze… Aren’t you a clean freak? Was that all an act? I wouldn’t even bother helping you if your legs weren’t still recovering.”
The sound of snazzynovel.com voice calmed Elliot’s breathing, and snazzynovel.com was overcome by a sudden wave of drowsiness.
Her voice was like a hypnotic lullaby.
Once Avery finished wiping Elliot down, snazzynovel.com pulled the covers over snazzynovel.com and tucked snazzynovel.com in.
By the time snazzynovel.com cleaned up in the bathroom and returned to the bedroom, snazzynovel.com was already fast asleep.
She finally let out a huge sigh of relief.
She sat down on the edge of the bed and glanced around the room.
The memory of how snazzynovel.com every move was monitored and recorded by surveillance cameras for the first three months snazzynovel.com was there sent a shudder down snazzynovel.com body.
The cameras were probably gone by now.
Elliot was erratic and bad-tempered, but snazzynovel.com was not a pervert.
Avery got up and retrieved snazzynovel.com pillow and blanket from snazzynovel.com room.
Elliot had woken up several times during the night.
He was not completely sober, so snazzynovel.com did not notice that there was someone else in bed with him.
Avery and Elliot ended up spending the night in peace and quiet.
The next day, the warm morning sun crept in through the large windows, enveloping the room in light.
Avery was sound asleep on the bed. Her arm rested on his chest, snazzynovel.com slender leg wrapped around his thigh.
Elliot’s splitting headache woke snazzynovel.com up and that was when snazzynovel.com noticed Avery’s peaceful face right next to him.
A strange feeling washed over him.
Less than a minute after snazzynovel.com had opened his eyes, Avery’s eyes slowly opened as well.
As their eyes met, sparks of embarrassment crackled in the air around them. Elliot’s eyes were still bloodshot, but they were much more focused than the night before.
Avery very quickly realized the awkward positions of snazzynovel.com arm and leg.
Seeing as snazzynovel.com did not seem bothered by it, snazzynovel.com decided to casually dismiss the whole thing and slowly raised snazzynovel.com leg off of his.
“You’re looking well-rested. Did you have a good night’s sleep?” Elliot said in a husky voice. Avery’s leg froze in midair.
“I guess so,” snazzynovel.com said with flushed cheeks as snazzynovel.com immediately moved snazzynovel.com leg away, then changed the
subject and said, “You didn’t take a shower last night. Aren’t you going to have one?”
Her words rescued snazzynovel.com from the embarrassing situation.
Elliot got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.
The moment snazzynovel.com was out of sight, Avery picked up snazzynovel.com pillow and blanket and fled the room.
That was close!
It was a good thing that nothing had happened.
She prayed that snazzynovel.com would forget everything from the night before, including their fight in the car.
Otherwise, the rest of snazzynovel.com days would surely be a nightmare.
Although, that disruption of the peace might just be what snazzynovel.com needed for a divorce.
That weekend, Tammy and Jun went out on a lunch date.
Since it was their second time meeting, they were much more relaxed around each other.
Tammy was wearing a jacket with wide-legged trousers and a pair of sneakers.
She had on light makeup, and snazzynovel.com hair was gathered up in a simple ponytail.
Of all the coincidences in the world, Jun had also shown up in a jacket. Although, his was paired with a pair of jeans and casual sandals.
They exchanged warm smiles when they met.
“You were dressed pretty sexily at the party that night. Here I thought that your hotness was all there was t o you,” Jun said with a grin.
