Warning!!! Adult Romance, sesuaikan usia kalian! Sorot mata Sunshine sinis membalas tatapan mata Lexy. "Seharusnya kau bisa mengerti keputusanku, aku terlanjur muak dengan semua permainanmu."

Bukan mempermainkanku," ucapnya dengan nada sedikit meninggi dan emosional seraya meraih telapak tangan Lexy dan meletakkan cincinnya.

Cerita ini fiksi dari pemikiran Author setelah bersemedi di rawa-rawa selama beberapa-abad. *Mohon dimaklumi karena tidak ada yang baru di bawah sinar matahari.
