In a pitch–ck corner, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows by the wall.

She peeked down the hallway where the lights were already off, then turned the other way, her eyes burning with resolve, as if she were about to do something big.
She lifted her head, crouched low, and tiptoed toward Finn’s room.
Now and then, a sweep of lighthouse light passed over her, lighting up Roxanne’s heavily made–up face.
And as it slid across her, it also exposed her pale arms and thighs.
At that moment, Finn nced at the clock. It was nearing noon, and his gaze drifted.
After a long while, he let out a breath and slumped back, a heavy gloom settling over him.
This was probably the closest he and Tess had been since the divorce.
Finn raised his eyes. The room was silent, except for the faint drip of the IV above him.
His heart felt restless too.
Finn turned toward the window in a daze, then suddenly frowned, feeling as though a shadow had just moved.
“Who’s out there?”
He cleared his throat and called out, but there was no response, only the quick retreat of a
shadow.
Finn frowned, unease growing in his chest.
It looked like a woman.
Knock, knock.
All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
Finn’s eyes narrowed, locked on the turning handle.
“Mr. Lock, I’m here to check your IV. Once this Bottle’s done, that’s it for tonight. You can
rest.”

Hearing the familiar voice of the doctor, Finn finally let him in.

A momentter, the family doctor in a white coat came in with a medical bag, first checking the nearly empty IV bottle, then taking out a cotton swab.
When it finished, he quickly pulled the needle and pressed the swab to the spot. “Mr. Lock, hold this yourself. Once it stops bleeding, you can rest.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
Finn nodded at the doctor. He still felt a faint chill, probably from the IV.
“My pleasure.”
The doctor stifled a yawn, picked up his bag, and left.
The door closed.
Finn leaned back on the bed and closed his eyes slightly. The cold had faded, and warmth slowly returned to his body.
Finn narrowed his eyes, but the more hey there, the more something felt wrong.
He frowned and pressed a hand to his lower abdomen, unsure why it suddenly felt unbearably hot.
Then he lifted his long, slender fingers and rubbed his temples, but it didn’t help.
Finn checked the cotton swab. Seeing there was no more bleeding, he tossed it in the trash and threw off the nket before standing up.
He paced the room twice, but his head only grew foggier, with Tess’s face appearing out of nowhere.
And… unlike all the times before when he couldn’t control his thoughts about her, this time… felt different.
“Finn, stop, I don’t want to!”
The woman’s cry was shrill. Yet instead of heartache, Finn only felt the heat surge from his belly to his chest, until even his face burned.
He bit his lip.
Why would <i>I </i>think <i>of </i>this<i>? </i>
That was… the night from <i>over </i><i>a </i><i>year </i><i>ago </i>when <i>Tess </i>and <i>I </i>slept together.

Finn’s ears slowly turned red, and even his vision seemed to blur, ovepping into Tess’s tear–streaked, flushed face.
“I must be losing my mind!”
Shame flooded him. He mmed his fist into the wall, the pain clearing his head a little.
Knock, knock.
This time, the knock came again.
Irritation red. He wasn’t in the mood to be polite anymore. “Who is it?”
Knock, knock.
No answer, just more knocking.
Finn stormed to the door and yanked it open, then froze when he saw who was outside.
Roxanne stood there like a delicate flower, moonlight spilling over her pale skin.
It was blinding.
“Roxanne? Have
lost you
your
mind?!”
Rage surged through Finn, yet his body burned even hotter, and he took a step back.
Roxanne wore almost nothing, barely covering what needed to be hidden, her figure on full disy.
Finn’s pupils widened as he stared at the woman before him, as if facing some wild beast.
“Get out.”
He took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself, his fingers pressing hard against his pounding temples as he lowered his voice.
“Finn … don’t you like it?”
Roxanne ignored his anger and stepped closer instead, her eyes shimmering as she looked at him, soft and inviting.
The temperature around Finn seemed to drop instantly as he stared back at her. “I’ll say one more time. Get out.”
