As the evening arrived, Sherly found herself alone in her room, the soft glow of lamplight casting shadows across the walls. Well, she's not really a fan of the dark since she was young, and now, even though she is old enough, she still can't sleep at night when it's too dark. She sat on the edge of her bed, her thoughts drifting to George, the warmth of his embrace, and the comfort of his presence.

    Since she got home, she has received a lot of texts and calls from George, and she did not even bother to answer them.
