A tall figure stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window, making Melody wonder whether she should pretend she had not seen him.
However, Jeremy broke the silence, which was unlike him. “Melody.”
She looked at him. He wore a shirt underneath the lab coat, and all the buttons were done securely. However, she knew that her bite marks were S dlande and shoulder.
Melody looked at him with glistening eyes. The moment Jeremy looked at her, there was a mix of emotions flickering across his face.
She had waited for him to speak up, but when he said nothing, she lowered her gaze.
