Chapter 71

• We come out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my body and my long hair, and him with one around his waist. I am ecstatic and breathless.
• Max has no intention of letting me go, he is hugging me from behind as we walk out, and we both laugh, carefree, as if nothing had happened.
• The steam from the bathroom spreads through the hallway and at the end of it we see Adam, who is standing still, holding a white bag in each hand, and he watches us as if trying to understand who the person is hugging me and kissing my neck, tickling me.
