Jackson prepared her toothbrush for her, squeezing toothpaste onto it and placing a cup of warm water
in her hand.
Serenity blushed at the attention and almost forgot how to even brush her teeth as Jackson’s presence
penetrated the air all around her.
He even grabbed a towel and ran it under warm water,
“I can do it myself… Serenity started as she bit her lip.
“Isn’t it easier if I do it for you?” Jackson asked.
But the problem was… he was too close to her! She was practically in his arms as he ran the towel
under the water from behind her!
Serenity couldn’t help but look up at the mirror before her.

like he was on an unattainable pedestal.
How had she never noticed this before?

she and Jackson were the same and wanted to keep him by her side.
Was it because… she was afraid of being alone?

“You’re clearly not a homeless person… There’s no need for you to call me that,” Serenity murmured in

she might have descended into hell once more.
Serenity took a deep breath and looked up, meeting his eyes through the mirror again.
“I don’t blame you, Jack.”
Yet, she also knew that he would not be the same man she treated as a little brother anymore. They
were simply two people from different worlds.
Jackson furrowed his brows slightly. Although he should be happy to hear her admit that she didn’t
blame him, her gaze filled him with a sense of unease.
It was as if she was putting up a barrier between them and keeping him at a distance.
Jackson didn’t like this feeling one bit.
