Edith looked at her boyfriend who was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed and brought over a cup of water. She sat beside him and offered the cup to him. "Want something to drink?"

"Are you alright?" Edith looked at his face and studied his expression.

She did not think that Neil would be so angry upon finding out Jamie's attempt to hit on her. Edith thought that his reaction was amusing. After all, Jamie's a girl and Edith was not the person who would be attracted to people of the same gender.

A helpless sigh escaped her as she felt the way he was tightening his hold on her body. "What's wrong?"
