It was only after she heard the footsteps walk away, did Alice breathe a sigh of relief. She had not expected things to go so out of hand. Rushing to the washroom, she washed her red face carefully and slowly untied the hospital gown exposing the redness around her neck and chest. There were even a few love marks which made her blush more furiously.
Changing into a fresh gown, Alice tried to organize her thoughts. She had indeed planned to ask K if he seriously liked her and would consider dating her but things had taken a different direction. As per her plans, they would have gone on a few dates before taking things further but all those plans had flown out of the window like little twittering birds.
