After feeling calmer and seeing her face better than before, Clover exited the toilet and walked in a daze, not paying attention to the people passing by, let alone realizing a pair of eyes were watching her with a longing gaze.
Right in the hallway of the restroom she had previously entered, Clover's hand was drawn to the room next to the toilet, where the cleaning equipment was.
Her heart almost jumped when her body was held tightly from behind.
"Babe, I've missed you..." the heavy, soft voice was so clear Clover knew who it belonged to. Yes, it was Joe who made Clover's body tremble even more, but it wasn't fear but sadness.
"What are you doing? Let go of me..." Clover, who was trying her best to hold back the tears that were about to come out, could only utter a short refusal, but Joe didn't let go of her.
He dropped his nose to rest on Clover's shoulder and inhaled the scent of Fresh Cherry perfume that was still the same as he left it.
