Chapter 42

• Wearing a mask and a cap, Peri sneakily entered the hotel where she worked. It was a Sunday afternoon, before her birthday. Her family believed she went out somewhere with a friend. Hence, they didn’t ask where she was going.
• As soon as she entered Suite 609, with her smiling boyfriend closing the door, he came up behind her and embraced her. She removed her mask, turned around, and jumped to wrap her legs around him. Easily, he carried her, with her legs around his hips and her arms wound around his neck. He kissed her lips, and she returned it fervently. He removed her cap and threw it somewhere, then continued to kiss her hotly.
• “Oh, I love you, Asher!” she whispered breathlessly.
