The evening air was biting cold, sending shivers down Cole's spine. She was sure she'd turn into an icicle when, without warning, Vincent gently scooped her up. A soft gasp escaped her lips as he settled them both across the length of the bed, pulling her close as he draped an extra blanket over their entwined forms. A warm blush bloomed across Cole's cheeks as she became acutely aware of their intimate position. But Vincent, with his steady composure, seemed entirely unbothered, simply relaxing into the bed’s softness. "Get some sleep," he murmured, his voice a soothing rumble that resonated in her chest. Sensing her gaze, he added, "The power will be back on once the damage is repaired. So… just stay close to me until then." Cole took a deep breath, willing her racing heart to calm. Slowly, she let herself melt into his embrace, resting her head on his broad chest. The faint scent of spring blossoms and cypress swirled around her, a fragrance that felt both comforting and familiar. She nestled closer, the warmth of his body chasing away the chill as sleep began to tug at her eyelids. With each steady beat of his heart, Cole felt a sense of peace she hadn't known she needed. She smiled softly, the rhythm of his heartbeat the most beautiful melody, lulling her into the comfort of dreams.

Wala sa plano ni Francyn na pumayag sa pustaan ng mga kaibigan niya. Hindi rin niya alam kung bakit siya napapayag ng mga ito gayong hindi naman niya ugaling manloko ng tao para lang makaganti ang kaibigan niya sa lalaking nangloko dito. Pero sadyang mapagbiro ang tadhana sa kaniya. Kung si kupido nga nagawang panain ang puso ng mga sawi siya pa kayang ni minsan hindi pa naranasan paano ang magmahal. Paano kung siya mismo ang mabiktima ng kalokohan ng mga kaibigan niya. Paano kung siya mismo ang mahulog sa lalaking akala niyang nanakit sa kaibigan niya. Kaya ba niyang pigilan ang nararamdaman para sa isang kaibigan? O susugal siya sa pag-ibig na ngayon lang niya naramdaman.
