“I…” M blushed and couldn’t say a word.


    Nathan looked drowsy. It wasn’t long before he closed his eyes again, but he lifted his hips and allowed


    M to pull his pants down to his thighs.


    After a deep breath, she looked up and asked, “Nate, are you awake?”


    He was still asleep. After a moment’s hesitation, M pulled his pants off. Then, she quickly wiped his


    body down with a wet towel. She continued to wipe him down three or four times until his temperature


    had cooled downpletely.


    About an hourter, M fed Nathan some cold medicine by mouth. She had stayed up all night tending


    to him. When daylight came, she fell asleep on the bed from exhaustion.


    A p of thunder awoke Nathan from his sleep. He struggled to open his eyes and turned his head to


    the balcony window. Only then did he realize that a thunderstorm was raging outside.


    The clock on the wall read 10:30 am. After scanning the room, Nathan remembered passing out and


    realized he was still in He Manor. He tried to sit up but found that something heavy weighed his belly.

    There was a small figure lying on top of him. It was impossible to see her face because her long hair


    was strewn about.


    Nathan wasn’t sure if she was Wanda. He felt weak all over. His mouth and throat were dry, and even


    swallowing hurt.


    Outside, the rain was pouring down hard, and the atmosphere was


    dark and gloomy. Suddenly, Nathan felt something wasn’t right with


    him.


    He reached into the nket and realized that the only thing he was wearing was his underwear. His


    brow furrowed in helplessness as he slowly closed his eyes. His ears began to flush.


    Phoebe’s voice rang out as she knocked at the door. “M, are you up?


    M sat up slowly and rubbed her eyes. Staring at Nathan’s face as he slept, she touched his forehead


    and then her own. After making sure that their body temperatures weren’t too different, she sighed in


    relief.


    Phoebe called out again, “M.”


    M quickly opened the door, dragged Phoebe into the room, and locked the door after her. Phoebe


    was confused by how nervous she seemed to act. “What’s going on?”


    M pulled Phoebe over to the bed and whispered, “Look.”


    Phoebe nced at Nathan on the bed, then back at M, and asked calmly, “How did he get in? And


    why is he sleeping in your bed?”


    “He snuck in at 3:00 am to take me away from Hoffis Manor, but ended up passing out.”


    Phoebe chuckled and looked at M in disbelief. “Did you drug him?”


    “What are you talking about?” M tapped Phoebe’s shoulder. “He came here sick and fainted


    unexpectedly.”


    “It’s pouring outside. Now what?” Phoebe asked.


    M pursed her lips and shook her head anxiously.


    “M, you said before that we can’t have any food from Hoffis Manor, not even their water. Well, with


    the storm out there and a guy sleeping


    in your room, what’s our n?”


    “We’ll wait for the rain to stop and order some take-out,” M said as she looked at Nathan on the bed.


    “And we need some menswear.”


    Phoebe nced at the clothes at the foot of the bed and covered her mouth in shock. She stepped


    forward and lifted Nathan’s nket.


    M stopped her just in time. “D-Don’t look. He isn’t wearing any clothes.”


    Phoebe gasped. “M, did you strip himpletely?”
