219Please respect copyright.PENANAa5FeQPpckB
Bethany lays on Grayson's chest in his arms as he rests his eyes, her doing the same in his shared apartment where Ester, Mikey and Solayo reside. Sitting not far from Bethany and Grayson is an empty cheese, chocolate and fruit platter and an elequoant empty bottle, two glasses.219Please respect copyright.PENANArmDTlfx3Ly
219Please respect copyright.PENANADD3mLrlsoC
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.219Please respect copyright.PENANA4E3Ixwvm8X
219Please respect copyright.PENANAUsqRtaHvTw
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."219Please respect copyright.PENANAyWtJW7HbD5
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwsTejbVU1e
"I'm suprised his..."219Please respect copyright.PENANAg1E8k7K091
219Please respect copyright.PENANAPM5sTJPB4B
"He just doesn't wanna stay down there miserable that bastard. His doing this for himself rather than for the benfit of everyone in this community, to get time outside."219Please respect copyright.PENANANVRtgDopnI
219Please respect copyright.PENANAMd4imrPpIA
"Well, it's not really time outside. He doesn't get to go out onto the farm or anything. It's still the lower floors in the minus." Estes speaks up.219Please respect copyright.PENANADJT9bw7KWj
219Please respect copyright.PENANA033yrmLhjo
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAKod1qwv6Do
219Please respect copyright.PENANAu9NqQXEBsX
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.219Please respect copyright.PENANAs4XUwkzsqV
219Please respect copyright.PENANAlitXNNr4UZ
"As long as it takes all of them. One doesn't get to leave, they all have to be ready. The chaos that would ensue if each one isn't ready and able to cope- What are you doing, Grayson?" Solayo speaks up, eyes annoyed when he sees Beth, the food and the booze.219Please respect copyright.PENANAdNsAY0n3J7
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwWKG8QO2qB
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"219Please respect copyright.PENANAzmZPCCSzGJ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAXpTJGMVBcM
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.219Please respect copyright.PENANAuTNuYNjboy
219Please respect copyright.PENANAt4SLaYeXQX
"Shut up both of you. Grayson, please get your boxers on and yes or no, answer me honestly. Are you fooling around or do you like her? Because we have spent the last two months getting the ones who came back on meds as well, and this could disrupt her regime.219Please respect copyright.PENANAb6iLs5VBEn
219Please respect copyright.PENANAiLhlBoHVv4
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"219Please respect copyright.PENANArqpqeQwf6Q
219Please respect copyright.PENANAAOoC683ciQ
"She won't freak out. Merge erases their backstory, but not your consciousness. She wanted to- what her and me did, we both wanted this.219Please respect copyright.PENANAodQRRSvY7m
219Please respect copyright.PENANA7LCutADNy8
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."219Please respect copyright.PENANAmZlmWCssaU
219Please respect copyright.PENANAdTbpFMOfGW
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure if Slate knew, he'd have something to say about that-" But Mikey doesn't get to finish, Solayo backhanding him behind the ear. "I'm sorry, Solayo." 219Please respect copyright.PENANAxtNDVJDrlH
219Please respect copyright.PENANAppB0dHe3fe
"He wouldn't, neither him or her barely remember eachother. She forgot how she came here, and now she forgot being here and escaping and it's the same for him." Solayo hisses. "As far as those two are concerned, the other is just a stranger who resides on the same floor as and they don't know how they got here except the false story I told them, they came at diffrent times.219Please respect copyright.PENANA76dJHO8FdZ
219Please respect copyright.PENANALJJJKV4zOa
They barely interact socially."219Please respect copyright.PENANANdxHlgiDHL
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxVdKL7x5Dv
"Gray, for fuck sake. Just pick up your pants." Ester says annoyed. "Hey, baby. I'm sorry, I'm just goanna move for a second." Grayson tells Beth gently, moving her head off his lap, pulling the bed sheet around him while he grabs his pants.219Please respect copyright.PENANAWeIDKAQY5U
219Please respect copyright.PENANAfYKjt0iUVi
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.219Please respect copyright.PENANATY3RoT7AAo
219Please respect copyright.PENANApOuFnQU5Ka
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.219Please respect copyright.PENANA5g4pfNkatt
219Please respect copyright.PENANAqzylKNAgpz
"Uh..."219Please respect copyright.PENANAuCn0Udo93I
219Please respect copyright.PENANAY6hrqeWXl2
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"219Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ4MLptnNv
219Please respect copyright.PENANAYw8cfbXbHX
"Ester, I'm sorry-"219Please respect copyright.PENANAfaDltE4Jnr
219Please respect copyright.PENANA3RtMS1fYz2
"Don't you Ester me!"219Please respect copyright.PENANAUBf44GozK2
219Please respect copyright.PENANAWXtJmnIBIa
"Listen to her." Solayo snarls. "Now, I'm going to go set the table now for dinner. Get Beth dressed again and take her backdownstairs-" 219Please respect copyright.PENANAE0GMUCqbfq
219Please respect copyright.PENANAXItetPdy2w
When there is a squeal, Beth diving for the small cheese knife. It's on the blunt side, but it's the only weapon in sight.219Please respect copyright.PENANA5lgJWgR7qS
219Please respect copyright.PENANArUJyGb14g9
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.219Please respect copyright.PENANAngUU7UeelH
219Please respect copyright.PENANAhM1Rnzcaou
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.219Please respect copyright.PENANA7I0qsFpYyq
219Please respect copyright.PENANAmCj7AlRaHL
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.219Please respect copyright.PENANAwbkNLjLG1K
219Please respect copyright.PENANAraUjW2xv9l
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.219Please respect copyright.PENANAWd469hspFu
"We don't care, her meds are the problem! The open alochol there, the endorphines from- I'm not going to finish that last part!" Ester yells back.219Please respect copyright.PENANAg34eunqfs5
219Please respect copyright.PENANATdRAtvnwnk
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.219Please respect copyright.PENANAWQky8OPb0r
219Please respect copyright.PENANApmmATXESM8
"You don't remember us talking and-" 219Please respect copyright.PENANAZjyjeYiaml
219Please respect copyright.PENANAcO10LQqj8J
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"219Please respect copyright.PENANAujjcOLGJ0u
219Please respect copyright.PENANAAWCqKou6wc
"Beth, I know you're scared. But I need you to hand over the knife. Can you do that? Hand it to me?" Mikey coaxes, gently sliding towards Bethany, gesturing with his hand when she aims it at him, threatening him too.219Please respect copyright.PENANACM53B9QWyD
219Please respect copyright.PENANA7eB5ETZngx
"Woah!"219Please respect copyright.PENANA8kOaw80lJx
219Please respect copyright.PENANAfZp1AqRVwE
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 219Please respect copyright.PENANARb5xt4BXop
219Please respect copyright.PENANAaHFGcJkMmI
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.219Please respect copyright.PENANArjZYPYRQyp
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"219Please respect copyright.PENANABi7uK2y2OY
219Please respect copyright.PENANAGnj8VOuRjC
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.219Please respect copyright.PENANA0OGdJgqJty
219Please respect copyright.PENANAzLwYvDwBYu
When Beth's dressed, Ester has her sit and Mikey comes back over to them while Grayson hangs back a short distance. Solayo comes back over.219Please respect copyright.PENANAEkqylGxk8q
219Please respect copyright.PENANAv6rv26r7hI
"Now, Beth. This won't hurt much, just a small prick-" But she dives away, Mikey grabbing her by the foot and pulling her back. "No, you don't!" He yells. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAiovcaDxzSP
219Please respect copyright.PENANAvtRW1X4Qi8
"Let go of me!" Beth yells at him, Ester stepping away as Solayo takes her other arm, assisting and presses down with the needle. "No, no! Ah-" She cries, starting to cry. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAuR476mk3OW
219Please respect copyright.PENANAlnigXFTPOv
He and Mikey roughly pick her up and move her from Grayson's bed to Ester, on account hers as restraints attached already... they secure them.219Please respect copyright.PENANAe9TDt190TX
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxCCYOaJjqE
Ester sitting beside Mikey on his bed as they have dinner, Grayson on his own and Solayo on his own. They're almost finished when Beth wakes up a bit. Solayo quickly places his plate aside, hops down to Beth's level gently brushing her hair aside and keeps brushing her forehead.219Please respect copyright.PENANAF0P6xk4hDI
219Please respect copyright.PENANARjkNkI7PMm
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."219Please respect copyright.PENANAeGw6hwbyv8
219Please respect copyright.PENANAZaDJDSkxhU
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAz9HnXPDlHW
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxqRmtZitPJ
She nods weakly, struggling to keep her eyes open. "Okay, let's go there then." and he undoes the straps, lifting her up in his arms. "Mikey, with me. You both, stay here." He says annoyed as he leaves their apartment with Beth, Mikey following.219Please respect copyright.PENANA0iiQSOLM90
219Please respect copyright.PENANAqSGrNCAEXE
Outside, he gives Mikey his pass and have him swipe the door rendering Ester and Grayson's pass useless, then gives it back to Solayo who snatches it and continues off towards the elevator. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAy7qeMgIhoI
219Please respect copyright.PENANAgtVFPVkINQ
When they head to floor 13, the rest of our group is dressed and ready for bed having had dinner when they see Solayo and Mikey with bed.219Please respect copyright.PENANApsYYPa8q7o
219Please respect copyright.PENANAhwvN1PCztl
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAnl0spuw9tc
219Please respect copyright.PENANA8QflIn6zJc
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAYeIpmmhTOl
219Please respect copyright.PENANAG1etdmzNnA
"Good."219Please respect copyright.PENANAdQj6GLdo9f
219Please respect copyright.PENANAw8EbzhLhhl
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 219Please respect copyright.PENANASKcS9IlZd2
219Please respect copyright.PENANAGJhKQKx1ig
And Slate heads into his room, Mikey locking it behind him. He then ushers Cloud, Lyla and Gideo into their respective rooms. Paisley is already in bed, hardly leaves hers. "Night, Paisley. Sweet dreams..." Mikey trails off awkwardly, locking it.219Please respect copyright.PENANAxHXoZZcceO
219Please respect copyright.PENANAl2iSPVsnZV
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAWfSU3llz7y
219Please respect copyright.PENANAaEA1jV4LC8
"Nah, we don't need em. She's calmer and we'll just sleep this off. Plus she ate anyway even if it wasn't dinner..."219Please respect copyright.PENANASbZqe4Krqe
219Please respect copyright.PENANAMvkbzNd5Qs
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."219Please respect copyright.PENANA4Zid1TaPnc
219Please respect copyright.PENANA7QWSnqaGFI
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."219Please respect copyright.PENANAePj6KSvWcT
219Please respect copyright.PENANAQujM9Apa0o
"Okay. Y-yeah..."219Please respect copyright.PENANA9YZ3mNg05a
219Please respect copyright.PENANAHEO4wzXJTA
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 219Please respect copyright.PENANAjtZZeyl2zO
219Please respect copyright.PENANAfKZAaHSaQd
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.219Please respect copyright.PENANALoOQrTiv5U

(Three and half years later)219Please respect copyright.PENANA7QSlv8ATm0
219Please respect copyright.PENANAYRRFBPGeZO
Our group now around 24-25 not that they know it are all getting out today, three years and a half is a long time, but they hardly recall over half their time. Working towards this part of their rehabilation was difficult when the real truth is it was never about redemption, it was just cruel punishment before it even began and after constant drugging, it's a concept they can't comprehend.219Please respect copyright.PENANAxJfORm2Jfy
219Please respect copyright.PENANAK6O297gUbT
Bethany's lying beside Gideon, head resting on shoulder as he sits on the floor, bouncing a plastic handball against the wall, coming right back to him.219Please respect copyright.PENANAisn1RARcE3
219Please respect copyright.PENANANvaTWodP8O
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.219Please respect copyright.PENANApmgS5gmEFp
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxsmpAg7Xvw
"Morning all." Cloud speaks up, coming out of his room. He recieves a few half hearted replies. With the group fairly unresponsive, he checks in on Lyla and Paisley, waking both girls. They each come out of their room.219Please respect copyright.PENANAImsQbMuJ2r
219Please respect copyright.PENANA4j3jZqhmKo
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.219Please respect copyright.PENANAEc92ZATyTL
219Please respect copyright.PENANApggEQbFZVb
It seems we are actually getting out today so if you all could collect up what you have here that would be great, and it's also my understanding when we process out, there is some additional stuff we're to collect that we couldn't have due to safety."219Please respect copyright.PENANAGxmX5a5jvK
219Please respect copyright.PENANA6N2IqevlJS
"Safety?" Slate whispers. "Uh, I think you drew occasionally? I'm not sure, but I guess they didn't want you stabbing yourself, them or us with them.
Like the tip." Cloud answers awkwardly.219Please respect copyright.PENANALiCaIN1NOz
219Please respect copyright.PENANAbl8q7fzrvr
Unlike the others, he knows the Tomorrow Party and is good at faking it for the long haul. The amount of time he cheeked the unesscary drugs, disposed of them and never got caught. Three years though down here was a long time when you are aware and awake for it all.219Please respect copyright.PENANAO9r7m6RKqf
219Please respect copyright.PENANAMr9IjUoPA8
"So, that's it for the morning announcements. Breakfast is coming I believe and medication." He finishes, the door at the end of the corridor opening right on time. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAgWj4P8SLXZ
219Please respect copyright.PENANASNEgVXA9uW
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.219Please respect copyright.PENANAxh3mGPzPA3
219Please respect copyright.PENANAFBPA7jEY0j
"Good, good. So eveyone, breakfast, then meds and grab your stuff please and then we are going to process you out into the population. You have stuff to collect you couldn't have down here, we trust you to hold them and behave appopritely."219Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9Q1zDO6pp
219Please respect copyright.PENANAQHxKFHWota
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.219Please respect copyright.PENANAyAnBIjV4qj
219Please respect copyright.PENANA71W5jUWT5u
While they all eat, the leaders prepare their meds. "How you doing?" Solayo smiles, bending down to Paisley even though it's no longer Paisley, a topic that has not been discussed. The girl she is now knows, but rarely talks because what is she meant to say? Lyla and her know they are twins as they look the same, but each feel nothing emotionally.219Please respect copyright.PENANAH2Dfo4pXDH
219Please respect copyright.PENANAf43FCu1S6x
He holds out her med cup for her to take which contains the least amount of medication than everybody else. Inside is just one single tablet. She gulps it down, followed by a cup of water.219Please respect copyright.PENANAnTqDvbZWbH
219Please respect copyright.PENANANww8gekPSw
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.219Please respect copyright.PENANA1XRnXVBMRO
219Please respect copyright.PENANAUvklT7borf
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 219Please respect copyright.PENANAC1p5EshnJy
219Please respect copyright.PENANAe5aNC9XlqL
"Uh, fine I guess."219Please respect copyright.PENANA1BM1ukOnm3
219Please respect copyright.PENANATXU978iSaC
"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAhl0VxOK1Jz
219Please respect copyright.PENANAeCkVsKlPMM
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAbirtkBH9l2
219Please respect copyright.PENANAaALRNe5xlq
"There will be, I don't want you and others to be bored and sitting down here really doesn't feel all that productive, yeah?"219Please respect copyright.PENANA2MdcWXPB52
219Please respect copyright.PENANACWHurjX1fl
"Yes, Sir."219Please respect copyright.PENANADhUrbxGxpI
219Please respect copyright.PENANAP1M3061mfb
"Your meds." 219Please respect copyright.PENANAgXWSfniJiX
219Please respect copyright.PENANAGlwJgosGlh
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.219Please respect copyright.PENANAddZjcCc4w7
219Please respect copyright.PENANAPg3A9twIO4
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."219Please respect copyright.PENANABi7CKfz5A7
219Please respect copyright.PENANAHJM24kMMQ8
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.219Please respect copyright.PENANAsbXrtLCGBj
219Please respect copyright.PENANASTpWsrI0Nm
"Better now that you all are here."219Please respect copyright.PENANACqvyDTENtH
219Please respect copyright.PENANA7jZLPq18O9
"You like our visits, good, good." Is Solayo's response. Despite the drugs, Beth's mood and fractured time eventally settled a bit for her to be able to go out with Grayson a bit. There was times they all got to leave for medical appointments and stuff, but she got to leave for other things sometime.219Please respect copyright.PENANAJ121gZI4wC
219Please respect copyright.PENANAqFgEzZSoWH
Only small though, sitting with Grayson on his lunchbreak even if it was only in the leaders apartment. No matter what it was, she looked forward to those far and few between events.219Please respect copyright.PENANAGoW1iPxzSg
219Please respect copyright.PENANA0haM8aeU8h
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.219Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z2fqGlWx0
219Please respect copyright.PENANAC0aCw12Rxk
"Do I have to take them?"219Please respect copyright.PENANArb7nQ49ZoY
219Please respect copyright.PENANA4gj3taHkCA
"You do, we've been over this. You know how we explained to you before that your mood was quite, well, it changed rapidly through out the day?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAaDFiwD7CGa
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxB3Pkvm7V3
"Yeah."219Please respect copyright.PENANAu8BYgRxAkG
219Please respect copyright.PENANAzNA0FyB3ZR
"That's why, and sometimes you posed a threat to yourself, saw things and had seizures. We didn't want you to get hurt so that is why you take these meds so that doesn't happen again ever."219Please respect copyright.PENANAGyJClpS6kM
219Please respect copyright.PENANATJgKx32UYE
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"219Please respect copyright.PENANASMlIJGSRgJ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAIDOWk44aCT
"If you're not ready to leave and your companions can't leave either-" He begins. "No, no. I'll take them. I'm sorry, Sir." She panics, downing them.219Please respect copyright.PENANAMt3IARF5Lo
219Please respect copyright.PENANAM8ZVbqQtSd
He checks her mouth seeing it's clear. "There we go, wasn't so hard." And stands. Once this is all over with, everyone collects the few clothes and items they have down here, the leaders leading them all to the elevator.219Please respect copyright.PENANAiwGaZrpFlD
219Please respect copyright.PENANA061Yr4T6i5
They enter, no one handcuffed as opposed to when they first came down here. "So, as we have discussed before, it's all going to be very overwhelming, there will be alot of people.219Please respect copyright.PENANASUPdO7XrFg
219Please respect copyright.PENANA7HXyqyCCcK
We'll show you your rooms, take today to familarize yourself with everything. The day begins at 6:30 for you all and ends at 7 p.m. Lights out are at 9 and no one is allowed in the hall outside that time.219Please respect copyright.PENANASZB8QwvWfT
219Please respect copyright.PENANARJjVjEk22e
Security will be patrolling the halls. The only reasonable excuse to leave is the bathroom or an emergency like a medical emergency or an alarm goes off signalling evacuation.219Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yntlei0N6
219Please respect copyright.PENANAqsMFVD9GHK
We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."219Please respect copyright.PENANAoGvdxvGG8o
219Please respect copyright.PENANAuF4DkXXCl0
"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.219Please respect copyright.PENANAHEYh2CLoA3
219Please respect copyright.PENANAq2RcX6iLao
The elevator reaches the main floor and they step out, all in awe as they walk along the bridge seeing the farm outside and sunlight streaming in from above.219Please respect copyright.PENANARI813lFoZb
219Please respect copyright.PENANAnEbnbMiKUP
"This is amazing." Gideon says, mouth open as they walk. They get a general tour. Cafeteria, shower and so on, are given their old tags with their first name on them and their keycards showing their access level. They are lead down a corridor that's a little more private and away from noise.219Please respect copyright.PENANA8WRarTzALt
219Please respect copyright.PENANA28v3WlKi2P
Two doors. "On the left here will be the boys dormitory. Gideon, Cloud and Zekey. Ya'll have a dog you forgot about. His in our apartment so Mikey will be going back to collect him. You take good care of Zekey.219Please respect copyright.PENANAcpO683Lixv
219Please respect copyright.PENANArxKtdjPlDs
Girls, you're all in the right room." And he opens both for our pair to split up and enter, looking around. "You want to go collect the stupid dog? I'm tired of it peeing around the place."219Please respect copyright.PENANAHUEY0P0MZB
219Please respect copyright.PENANAbuTKLE5aUt
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 219Please respect copyright.PENANA8gKo3tnWIz

"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 219Please respect copyright.PENANAGQP6CWA8bj
219Please respect copyright.PENANAjE0EZNiuuX
Ester goes with him to accompany him, Solayo leaves with Cloud to show him his room, a seperate private room all to his self and Grayson remains behind, gesturing for Bethany to come out and see him. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAlnv3YEvlBI
219Please respect copyright.PENANAjcvZo8BaXi
She slips out while Lyla and Paisley are distracted putting their stuff away. "Hey you." She smiles, pushing Grayson against the wall, hands feeling his toned chest and starts kissing the side of his face, trailing down his neck. "Wow, okay. Thank you, that's nice." He blushes, pushing her away.219Please respect copyright.PENANAGjxa6dSEiv
