Petal's POV

I was startled.

No.

Startled was an understatement.

I was traumatized.

I sat frozen in the passenger seat, my back pressed firmly against the window, staring at the rain sliding down the glass as if those tiny droplets were suddenly the most fascinating things in the world.

My eyes still burned from the tears I'd tried to wipe away.

What had I even done?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

I had simply fallen asleep.

Accidentally.

I hadn't planned to sleep in his car. I hadn't

    Petal's POV I was startled. No. Startled was an understatement. I was traumatized. I sat frozen in the passenger seat, my back pressed firmly against the window, staring at the rain sliding down the glass as if those tiny droplets were suddenly the most fascinating things in the world. My eyes still burned from the tears I'd tried to wipe away. What had I even done? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I had simply fallen asleep. Accidentally. I hadn't planned to sleep in his car. I hadn't thought, Oh, let me comfortably doze off beside a strange man I've known for approximately half an hour. I had been cold, exhausted and soaked from the rain. My body had simply given up. And this man— This terrifying, grumpy, short-tempered man— had scolded me as though I'd committed some unforgivable crime. Does he have split personality or something? I secretly glanced at him. His face was unreadable. His eyes remained fixed ahead. His jaw was still tense. Of course. Mr. Angry. Wh

    sebastian's POV The moment I looked at her, I realized she wasn't paying attention to the road anymore. She was looking at me. Her back was pressed against the passenger-side window, her body turned slightly in my direction. One hand still clutched her bag against her chest while the other rested uncertainly in her lap. I frowned. A few minutes ago, she'd been sleeping as peacefully as if she were in her own bedroom. Now she looked wide awake. Almost too awake. I glanced at the locked passenger door when I noticed her hand near the handle. She had tried it. Of course. She'd probably assumed she could simply get out of the car and walk inside. I haven't unlocked it yet. Not because I wanted to trap her. Because I had parked directly outside her house gate and wanted to speak to her before we went inside. She seemed to realize that too. Her fingers slowly withdrew from the handle. The rain had weakened to a drizzle now, but droplets continued sliding down the windshiel

    sebastian's POV "Who are you?" Her voice was hoarse from sleep. A beat later, panic flickered across her face. "Why am I here?" I stared at her. From the college to her home, she had slept as though she didn't have a single problem in the world. Peacefully. Comfortably. As if the man sitting beside her wasn't a complete stranger. And now, after nearly half an hour of uninterrupted sleep, she finally decided to ask who I was. I almost laughed. Almost. Instead, I raised one eyebrow. That was enough to make her stare at me. She blinked. Then suddenly... She smiled. I frowned. What the hell? "But you are very handsome." I said nothing. She continued looking at me with that sleepy, innocent expression. "Hello, handsome." Before I could react, her hand came up and touched my face. My entire body stiffened. What was she doing? I immediately caught her wrist and moved her hand away from my face. "Behave, little girl." She pouted. "But I was just complimenting yo

    sebastian's POV Something inside me snapped. A surge of anger rushed through my veins so suddenly that my fingers tightened painfully around the steering wheel. For one reckless moment, I wanted to knock some sense into her. How could anyone be this careless? How could someone simply... fall asleep in a stranger's car? My jaw clenched. Every muscle in my body screamed at me to wake her up and lecture her until she understood just how dangerous the world truly was. But... I stopped myself. I took a slow breath. Then another. For the first time in a very long time, I swallowed my temper. The traffic light changed from red to green. The cars behind me began moving. I pressed the accelerator and drove forward. The silence inside the car returned. The rain had softened into a gentle drizzle, but droplets still raced across the windshield while the wipers moved in their steady rhythm. Swish... Swish... Swish... Beside me, she remained asleep. Comp

    sebastian's POV The rain showed no intention of stopping. It lashed against the windshield in endless sheets, turning the world beyond the glass into a blur of shimmering lights and distorted shadows. Water rolled down the windows in restless streams while thunder rumbled somewhere far away, wrapping the city in a cold, restless silence. I rounded the front of the car, rain soaking the shoulders of my shirt before I slipped into the driver's seat and shut the door behind me. The loud patter of rain was instantly muffled. Only the rhythmic tapping on the roof remained. I exhaled slowly, running a hand through my damp hair before reaching for my seatbelt. That was when something caught my attention. My blazer sleeve. I frowned. I turned toward the passenger seat, expecting to find the blazer folded neatly beside her. Surely she had taken it off. It wasn't hers. It belonged to a complete stranger who had only met her an hour ago. If she had removed it careless

    Sebastian's POV The phone rang. Once. Twice. Three times. My eyes remained fixed on the rain-soaked road ahead while my thumb tapped impatiently against the steering wheel. Come on... Pick up. The call continued ringing until it disconnected. I stared at the dashboard for a brief second before exhaling sharply. "Seriously?" I clenched my jaw. "Is this girl for real?" "Can't she answer a phone call?" The Bluetooth screen returned to her contact information. Petal Viotto. I had barely known her name for two minutes, and she was already testing my patience. Outside, rain lashed against the windshield with increasing force. Students hurried past beneath colorful umbrellas while cars formed long queues outside the college gates. I glanced toward the entrance. Nothing. No sign of her. Maybe she hadn't heard the phone. Or maybe... "She's one of those spoiled kids who ignores unknown numbers." The thought crossed my mind. After all, Penelope h
