They thought that their unexpected encounter was an isolated incident. However, fate had something else in mind, as they find their way back in each other’s arms, not in a passionate embrace but with a contract that would bind them for a long time. Would their agreement fulfill their dreams, or would it end in a disastrous union?

"Oh, right?" Eida returned to her previous position in the bar and took another sip of her beer, trying to get a grip of herself.
She pretended to be clueless that he had just rejected her. She had never been in this kind of situation before. Usually, she was the one turning her back on an offer, not the other way around.
She suddenly felt awkward, thinking that she had misread his earlier actions. It would seem that she was the only one attracted to him. Or otherwise, he was better at controlling his urges than she was.
