"I think I should go."

She just wished to avoid upsetting Benico further.

“We won't stay long."

“Alright.”

She tried to shake off the worry. No amount of worrying would alter Benico's unfavorable view of her.

She looked at Bennet's wet hair and asked, "Aren't you going to dry your hair?"

Bennett touched his hair and said, "Go to sleep first."

“I'm not tired. I'll just use my phone," she said as she took the phone from the side.

"Okay."

He gave a nod before heading back to the bathroom.

Opening the Line app, she noticed Aurora still hadn't responded.

Just as she was about to call her, it hit her that Aurora had a celebration today.

Given that, it was best not to interrupt Aurora's evening.

Claudia logged out of Line and scrolled through Twitter, noticing a new song shared by Mathews.

She liked the song, skimmed through the top trends, but nothing caught her attention, so she signed off.

By then, Bennett, with his hair dried, stepped out of the bathroom.

Alerted by the sound, Claudia set her phone on the nightstand, snuggled under the Light quilt, and glanced over at him.

Bennett switched off the main light, Leaving only a dim nightlight glowing.

When he went to bed, the soft bed sheet slightly sank, and Claudia, who was lying on the side, could clearly feel it.

A comforting presence enveloped her from the side.

The next second, she was hugged by Bennett.

As she met his deep eyes, memories of the previous evening flooded back to Claudia.

Her heart raced.

Would tonight be a repeat of last night?
