âDebra.
â He called my name in a low and hoarse voice.
âItâs so good to have you.
â
ALL of a sudden, I froze.
My heart started to raise in my chest the longer I stared into his shining eyes.
Caleb was really good at flirting!
My face turned red, but I deliberately frowned and said coldly, âItâs just a bath.
You donât need to be too moved.
â
But Caleb ignored my protests and got closer to me, his warm breath spraying across my face.
A shiver ran down my spine and I couldnât help but gulp.
âWhat makes you think I was moved?â His charming smile widened as his free hand slowly climbed up along my arm and touched my face.
âI should thank you for helping me take a shower, donât you think?â
I couldnât stand his flirting, so I shook off his hand and turned around to leave.
âYou can take a bath by yourself!â
âDebra, wait!â
I stopped in my tracks and turned around, only to see that Caleb had finally regained his usual serious demeanor.
âWe need to talk.
â
I didnât want to talk to him, so I turned back around and continued to walk away.
However, I forgot that the floor of the bathroom was very slippery.
As soon as I took a step, I slipped and fell backward.
âAh!â I screamed.
Before I could react, a hand held my waist firmly, and Calebâs face appeared in front of me.
âOh, God! Caleb, are you okay?â

I immediately thought about his injured arm and hurried to check on it, but Caleb held me firmly in place.
I didnât dare to struggle for fear of hurting him even more.
âWhatâre you going to do, Caleb?â
âIâm sorry, Debra.
â Holding me tightly, Caleb sighed and apologized to me sincerely.
âItâs all my fault.
I shouldnât have been so harsh to you yesterday.
I know you care about Dylan.
Otherwise, you wouldnât have asked Melany to help Brian.
I was so selfish and didnât even care to consider how you felt.
â
I fell silent for a while.
My feelings were very complicated.
After mulling over it, I decided to speak out what was on my mind.
