As he observed ire''s damp hair and the sweat glistening on her chest, an unexpected pang of concern welled up within him an emotion he hadn''t recognized before.
When heter entered ire''s body, his movements were instinctively gentle, reminiscent of how one might handle a newborn.
Even Frederick himself was unaware of this softness; it was a response driven purely by his physical instincts.

He lit a cigarette and stepped outside.
"You don''t need to follow me," he instructed Richard as he reached the hospital exit.
"Let''s grab a drink," he said once in his car, frowning as he contemted his next move before dialing Harrison''s number. "Same ce as always." Harrison happened to be awake when Frederick called and soon arrived at Eclipse Nightclub.
