章 149: Unspoken question

"Alex?" Dani stretched her hand and found the bed empty. "What are you doing? It's barely dawn." 

Alex was already up, getting dressed. She could not help the disappointment displayed on her face upon realizing that he was already leaving.

"I am needed to be early in the office. I still need to go home and get change." He said as he buttoned his white shirt and folded his coat in his hand.

If he had a choice, he would rather stay until later or even skip going to work. But he had responsibilities that he could not ignore just because he wanted to spend more time with Dani in bed. That was just not a good excuse.

"I supposed you are right. But I am already missing you." She sounded so wanton that she did not even recognize herself. 

Maybe she was still dreaming, and nothing about this was real. She pinched her skin to check if she would feel the pain. Unfortunately, she was wide awake.
