But he restrained himself again.
Peggy Lewis was not disappointed; indeed, she was deeply touched.
"Mm," Peggy Lewis recovered.
She had already taken a shower and cleaned herself up at home.
Now she would not trouble herself further.
Peggy Lewis took the lead, heading for the bedroom with Lyke Zhekova following behind her.
Their bedrooms were adjacent.
But Peggy Lewis's room was slightly more interior than Lyke Zhekova's.
Lyke Zhekova followed Peggy Lewis to her bedroom door first.
Peggy Lewis opened the door and stepped inside, standing there as Lyke Zhekova remained outside.
"So, I'm going to bed now, you should go and get some rest too," said Peggy Lewis, "Goodnight."
Their relationship had changed, and even their goodnight greetings felt different now.
They knew it was getting late and if they didn't sleep now, they would only get a few hours rest.
But Lyke Zhekova just couldn't leave, as if he was tied by an invisible rope.
