"It's so rundown and disgusting."Sophia shot her a reproachful glance. "Amanda, must you always be so negative?" she chided angrily. "You never know what someone's living situation is like.

The weight of her words bore down on him like a leaden cloak, the ache in his chest growing with each passing moment.He couldn't shake the feeling of hurt, the sting of her accusation searing through him like a hot blade. Caleb shook his head in disbelief, a bitter chuckle escaping his lips. "Unbelievable," he muttered under his breath, the words heavy with frustration.

And yet, somehow, I'm the one who's the bad guy here.""How dare he try to deceive her, to deny what had clearly transpired?

"How do you explain us ending up in the same room, on the same bed, tangled together?" she questioned, her voice laced with uncertainty. "I do remember one thing clearly," Emily interjected, her voice tinged with certainty. "When we arrived at the hotel, you booked two rooms." Caleb took a deep breath, his gaze unwavering as he addressed Emily. "So you do recall us checking into the hotel, don't you?" he asked softly, a hint of concern in his tone. Emily nodded slowly, her brow furrowing in concentration as she recalled the events leading up to their arrival at the hotel. "Yes, I remember," Emily confirmed with a nod. "First, we went to the police station, and then... it was late, and there were no taxis available. I was exhausted, and that's when you suggested booking a room for the night at a hotel across the road from the police station... that's correct, isn't it?" Caleb nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's right," he confirmed, a sense of relief washing over him as Emily

"I dread asking what happened next," she admitted, her voice tinged with apprehension. "Nothing. But I had no choice but to restrain you," he admitted, his voice tinged with regret. "You were... you were becoming increasingly agitated, and I was afraid you might hurt yourself. I wrapped you up tightly in a bedspread and held you until you finally fell asleep." Caleb took a deep breath and paused momentarily. "After you fell asleep, I was so exhausted myself," Caleb explained, his voice tinged with weariness. "I lay down next to you, just in case you got up again. But I didn't know when sleep took over. When I woke up, you were practically on top of me, and then, well, you woke up..." Emily listened intently, her expression of embarrassment. "So, you're saying we both fell asleep, and when we woke up, we were in that...position?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly. Caleb nodded. A heavy silence settled between them as Emily processed his words, her heart heavy with gr
