“Hey, it’s okay. They understand, they don’t even mind it.” Pagpapakalma ni Yves. Nilakad niya ang kanilang pagitan at agad na hinawakan ang mukha ni Ozanne.
“Still, you should have woken me up. Tinanghali nako ng gising. It’s almost 10.” Nakakunot ang kaniyang kilay when Yves squeezed her cheeks.
“ It’s already enough that you’re a beauty, why can you also be a cutie? “ Mas lalo pang nanggigil si Yves at mas pinagdiinan pa Ang kaniyang pisngi.
