When the sounds in the living room died down, I opened the door and crept outside.
Under the dim moonlight streaming in from the window, I saw a familiar figure Lying on the sofa.
I approached Caleb and Looked at his sleeping face quietly.
Whenever
Caleb was asleep, he Looked completely harmless, unlike his usual cool, aloof self when he was awake.
Just as I turned to leave, a hand suddenly shot out and wrapped itself around my waist.
Before I could react, I was pulled backward and fell on top of Caleb.
He leaned towards me and whispered in my ear, âThis sofa is so uncomfortable.

His breath tickled my ear, making me feel itchy.

Caleb sighed helplessly and begged, âThen at least let me hold you for five minutes.

Gradually, I closed my eyes and drifted off.
Calebâs POV:
Early the following morning, pleasant birdsong came from outside the window.
I slowly peeled my eyes open, just in time to see a small bird taking flight from the windowsill.
I wanted to sit up, but I found that I couldnât, because a petite figure Lay on top of me
