Before she could finish speaking, Wayne hugged her waist and kissed her.
His mouth was full of the taste of mint, the kiss meticulous and gentle.
It was as if he was afraid that any more pressure might break her.
In a daze, they returned to the bedroom, falling onto the bed, their kisses difficult to part from.
In the end, however, Wayne lay on top of Rosalynn, and stopped moving.
He kissed Rosalynn's eyes and eyebrows.
"Wait a little longer, just a little bit more, or you'll get hurt."
Rosalynn lay on the bed, her breathing failing to steady for a long time.
She raised her hand, her fingertips threading through Wayne's thick hair. She stared at the ceiling in silence.
After Wayne fell asleep, Rosalynn got up, picked up the skirt scattered on the floor, and went to her own bathroom to take a shower.
Then she lay back in her own bed.
That night, Rosalynn didn't sleep well.
With the break of dawn, she decided to go for a walk, and had breakfast while she was at it.
When it was almost time for work, Rosalynn slowly made her way back.
At the doorway, she could hear Wayne's voice from the living room.
"How is Olivia now? Fine! Why didn't you take good care of her?"
"I'm going back now..."
Even a heart as dead as hers would find this situation mocking.
When Rosalynn entered, Wayne had just hung up the phone.
"Rosa..." Wayne approached, "Olivia had a little accident, I..."
Rosalynn acted very indifferent, "You're not planning to take me with you, are you?"
"No..." Wayne quickly answered.
But as soon as he spoke, he felt that his answer wasn't quite right.
"Rosa, I promise you this will be the last time. If she ever has an extreme behavior again, I will consider sending her to a professional institution for compulsory treatment," Wayne said, reaching out for Rosalynn's hand.
