“I need to give you a hug for saving my best friend!”
“No need.”
I ignored the damage to my confidence.
“I insist!”
I thought he was going to brush me off again, but much to my delight and everybody’s surprised, he raised his forefinger at me.
“I’ll give you thirty seconds.”
I gasped.
I couldn’t believe THE Cain Fay was going to let me touched his body even if it was just his finger!
*wheeze . . .
You can do this, Zoe!
It’s just a finger!
Right when I was about to hug his finger, he retracted his hand.
“Times up.”
“What! I demand a refund!”
Everyone laughed. I didn’t know why they laughed.
I’m entirely serious here!
“Len-Len!”
Not long after, a loud voice snapped me out of my discontentment, and the door flung open and came in a middle-age woman and middle-age man and . . .
. . .
. . .
“YOU!”
“Pretty Lady?”
“Peacock girl?”
Eh?
Twins?
Now it all became clear to me. The reason why he couldn’t recognize me.
It was his twin! The one I stalked from Vegas all the way to Izu Island!
At this moment.
All the hurt.
All the frustrations.
All the anger vanished like smoke.
Disappeared into thin air.
And I found myself falling in love with him all over again.
“Zoe . . . did you . . . the one you . . . slept with . . . was Lawrence?”
Lawrence?
Is that his name?
What a beautiful name.
I love the feel of his name rolling in my tongue.
I bit my lip and faced my best friend.
. . .
. . .
“I didn’t know.”
I really didn’t know.
