After Lucas hugged Belinda for a while, the nausea gnawing at him began to fade.
He then loosened his hold, took her hand, and guided her to the sofa. Sitting down with her, he said quietly,
“Tonight, | was at the Dream Club, drinking with Johnson, Vincent, and Faye.”
Belinda’s brow creased slightly at the mention of Faye, but she stayed quiet, waiting for him to continue.

Belinda’s eyes sharpened, her lips pressing into a thin line. She stood again, striding toward the bathroom.
Moments later, she returned, clutching a towel.
Standing in front of Lucas, she asked, “Which side? Left or right?”
Lucas gestured to his left cheek. “Left.”
With tender care, Belinda wiped his left cheek, her movements soft.
