Susan Hawk took a while to slowly lower her hand, touching her burning cheek, knowing without looking in the mirror that her face must be especially, especially red right now.
After patting her face and calming herself down, Susan took a deep breath, got out of bed, and prepared to wash up.
As she stepped out of bed and walked a few steps, her gaze caught sight of Ethan Carter asleep at the bedroom desk.
Susan frowned. It was strange that he chose to sleep here when there was a guest room available.
Susan tiptoed towards Ethan, trying to make her footsteps as light as possible, so as not to disturb him since he was so tired already.
When she reached Ethan, Susan put her hands behind her back and bent her waist slightly to look at him, pursing her lips in hesitation over whether or not to wake him up.
After hesitating for a long time, Susan finally extended her finger, only to retract it immediately. She repeated this back-and-forth action over a dozen times.
