Madeline got out of bed and cleaned herself up. When she was about to look for Jeremy, she heard noises from the balcony.
She looked over and saw the man standing there alone. Jeremy’s tall and slender back looked frail.
There was a cigarette between his long fingers. The tip of the cigarette lit up and dimmed simultaneously, looking desolate in the morning sun.
Perhaps he heard footsteps, so he turned around and saw Madeline walking toward him. He narrowed his eyes into a grin. “Why don’t you sleep more?”
“I’ll wake up if I get enough sleep.” Madeline smiled. When she saw Jeremy in yesterday’s clothes, she asked, “You didn’t sleep for the entire night?”
He curled the corner of his lips. His eyes were as dark as night as they were glued on Madeline’s fair and gentle face.
“It’s been difficult for me to fall asleep for the past three years.”
A glint flashed across Madeline’s eyes when she heard that.
Jeremy extinguished his cigarette and walked in front of her.
The unique smell
