“Are you really okay?” he asked.

Allie smiled, and Rafael didn’t know whether to focus on her smile or her tearful eyes.

“You comforted me, so I’m happy.”

At that moment, Rafael sincerely recognized that his earlier attitude had been excessive.

I’m sorry.

“I’m even happier now!” Allie turned around, linking her arm with Rafael’s and resting her head against his arm. “Having one more round of sex tonight isn’t asking too much, is it?”

Rafael sighed. “Being so young, how can you be so…” He couldn’t finish the sentence.

“How can I be what?” Allie pressed.

“Aren’t you pleased? Don’t all men like this?”

Rafael coughed uncomfortably, diverting his gaze as he turned his face away. “Excessive amounts of it can be draining rather than enjoyable. You should take your health into consideration.”

Allie asked, “Are you concerned about my health?” Rafael nodded with detachment.

Allie grasped his arm firmly with both hands.

Joelle and the others observed from above as Allie radiated energy, clinging to Rafael with an almost inseparable attachment. The ten-year age gap was unmistakable at first glance, but the longer one watched, the more harmonious their connection appeared.

A collective sigh of relief swept through those around them, but Allie, with her innocent demeanor, leaned in and murmured in Rafael’s ear, “If you’re genuinely worried about my health, then why did you accelerate when I asked you to halt?”

Rafael’s expression betrayed a flicker of annoyance. “That’s enough. As a young lady, you incessantly ponder about such things. How would others perceive you?”

Allie remained unfazed by others’ opinions; she relished the sight of Rafael’s serious expression. It was akin to the exhilaration of shattering a meticulously curated tableau. For Allie, it was a stress reliever.

“It is often said that physical attraction is the most challenging to resist. I find myself irresistibly drawn to you. Do you feel the same pull towards me?”

Rafael denied her the opportunity to continue the conversation. Once responded to, Allie would carry on endlessly.

Rafael chose not to respond and instead joined the others to begin preparing the barbecue.

Before long, the temperature began to drop. Allie didn’t have an extra coat, and Joelle was the first to notice.

“Allie, you should put on your coat. I’ll find a blanket for Aurora.”

“No need, Joelle. Don’t let Aurora catch a cold.”

“But—”

“I’m fine.” Allie wrapped herself in Rafael’s coat, which he had previously removed.

The lining was still warm, and it carried Rafael’s scent. It made Allie feel like she was enveloped in his embrace, instilling a profound sense of security within her.

Amidst the lively chatter and bustling atmosphere, the five of them gathered together, sipping drinks and engaging in conversation. Michael let out a sigh and said, “If only Lacey were still here.”
