That night, Joshua had a very long, very realistic dream where his Luna Gibson returned to him. She fed him water and listened as he called her Honey.
They even...
In his dream, he called her Luna Gibson, and she answered him every single time.
Not Alice's awkward and unnatural reply, but an incredibly natural and smooth reply.
The man closed his eyes and reminisced for a long time.
If only...this dream became reality.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and was met with the hotel room’s luxurious decor. He was not the only one asleep on the huge, soft bed, however. There was also...Alice, dressed in nothing but her underwear.
She laid asleep in his arms like a little kitten.
On the ground beside the bed were piles of discarded tissues and their clothes.
Joshua rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
Seeing the sight that greeted his eyes, it was impossible for him to not know what happened.
Was everything that happened last night true after all?
"You're awake?" Awakened by his movements, in his arms, Alice opened her eyes and raised her head to look at him. She blinked, her eyes still crusted with a layer of sleep. "You were so rough last night."
Joshua paused, then raised his hands and pulled her into his lap. "I was so happy last night.”
It was no dream, after all. Last night...he finally found the feeling he missed so much from her.
"I was so happy, too." Alice laid in his arms and sounded delighted, but he failed to notice the spite-filled eyes of hers.
Last night...
In the room next door, Luna was still fast asleep.
Joshua was so rough with her last night.
