Wendy reached out her fingers trembling as she tried to touch Stanley s handsome face
But before she could his hand shot out and grabbed her s Stanley blinked sleepily his eyes still heavy with the remnants of sleep He gently placed her hand on his lips kissing it softly before turning to look at her
“Goodmorning.”
His voicewaslowandhusky,thekindofvoicethatrumbledinhischestwhenhefirstwokeup.Hegazedatherwithhisdarkeyes,awarmthinhisexpression.
Wendy s small face flushed a soft pink It s getting late We should getup
Stanley pulled her soft body back into his arms Just a little longer he murmured still wanting to sleep
But Wendy pushed herself upright No we can t This is a girls dorm and everyone will wake up soon You have to leave
Stanley s narrow eyes twinkled mischievously his handsome features showing amusement We spent the night together and you want me to leave the moment you opened your eyes I feel used
Wendy gave him an exasperated look but didn t say anything She threw off the blanket and tried to climb out of bed The moments he stood her slender body wobbled and she slipped toward the floor
Ah she gasped softly
Before she could hit the ground a strongarm shot out and caught her around the waist lifting her effortlessly
Are you okay Stanley s voice was soft but concerned as he held her securely in his arms
Of course she wasn to kay
Wendy clenched her small fist and punched him in the chest It was oddly endearing
Her face still free of makeup was a soft shade of pink and the yellow candy colored hair clip the only one left on her head was now crooked
Her playful little expression said it all She was blaming him for the fall
Stanley slow amused laugh rumbled from deep in his chest Her playful innocent charm was always something he adored
He gently placed her back on the bed then leaned over her Still have some energy How about a little morning workout
He leaned down to kiss her
Morningworkout?
Wendy tried to dodge his advances Stanley stop
They both tumbled over in a playful tangled mess on the bed At that moment the air was thick with sweetness It was probably what love smelled like
Then Stanley shand slid under the pillow and his fingers brushed something hard
What s under your pillow he asked curious
It was the crystal pendant the very one he had given her back in that cave all those years ago

Wendy stared at him You gave this tome
“Did12”
Yeah she said softly lifting the pendant from under the pillow She wanted to show him to remind him of the
past.
She had always wondered if he remembered her if he remembered that night It seemed like he had forgotten
But as she held the pendant his phone suddenly rang cutting the moment short
Stanley answered it immediately and Lilian s frantic voice came through Mr Hawk you need to get to the hospital Jessica cut her wrist
Jessica had tried to kill herself
Wendy shand still holding the crystal pendant froze
Stanley s expression tightened The warmth and comfort he had given her evaporated as he quickly stood and grabbed his clothes
“I’llberightthere.”
He hung up the phone and rushed to get dressed
Wendy s at on the bed the crystal pendant still in her hand Seeing Stanley so urgently rushing off she quietly placed it back under the pillow
Last night had been a moment of passion but now reality was knocking at the door
