She felt a knot in her throat, making it hard for her to speak. She racked her brain for a reasonable excuse, but nothing came to her. She knew she had no choice but to face the truth. She let out a resigned sigh, her shoulders drooping in surrender.

She wished she could disappear from his sight, or better yet, erase the whole night from her memory.
