章節 28: The Calm After the Storm

The house was too quiet. With David's exit, the dinner party broke up quickly. Liam took off for the campus. Jakara and Steph went to a movie. Jessie squeezed her arms around her, trying to fill the emptiness where all that pent-up emotion had resided. She could sense her feelings for Min Jun seeping into the space and expanding. The fuller the space became, the more the walls closed in on her until she grabbed her car keys.

All she meant to do was take a drive, honestly. And she did. She drove straight to Min Jun's place. She didn't think about where she was going or why. She didn't think about how slow the elevator moved or that the hallway smelled like it had been freshly cleaned. She didn't think about the length of the hallway or whether Min Jun was home. All she knew was Min Jun. That was it. The full thought—Min Jun.
