She was happy. That emotion was extremely prominent in her dream. She wasn't sure if it was actually her emotion or not but she assumed. Dancing shadow figures showed her two people in a domestic environment, falling in love. Then she could feel a sharp object pierce through her chest so deeply that she almost believed it was real. In the next scene, she sat in a room with a man in front her. His lips were moving but nothing came out. Lastly, right before she woke up with a jolt, a clown aimed a gun at her and fired as he laughed like a maniac.

Roni quickly opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. She was still in her hotel room with Luke's arm draped around her naked body. Exhaling in relief, she buried her face against the pillow and screamed out. Even though it was muffled and barely audible, Luke still twisted before opening his eyes and smiling at her.

"Okay, last night couldn't have been that bad." He laughed and traced circles on her back with his fingertips.

"It's not you." She assured him before going into panic. "Shit. Shit, shit, shit, last night shouldn't have happened. Oh, I'm so stupid."

Roni was about to get up but Luke carefully turned her head to face him and caressed her cheek with his thumb instead, instantly calming her down. The sunlight from the window lit up the room in a soft way and if it was possible, his eyes were even bluer.

"Just... stay for a while, okay? This is nice." He asked and placed a lazy kiss on her lips.

"I don't know how you do it." She sighed in defeat and narrowed her eyes at him. "I shouldn't let you convince me so easily. I definitely shouldn't have slept with you last night and I shouldn't–"

"What? Have fun? Be happy?" He cut her off and kissed her forehead. "You say that you shouldn't and can't do a lot of things. What should you do?"

"You're a pain in the ass." She muttered. That made him smirk the way he did before dropping a sly comment.

"Not last night I wasn't." He whispered and nibbled on her ear.

"Okay, get up." She laughed before getting up herself and putting on comfortable, sweatshorts with a loose t-shirt. "Come on."

"If you insist." He shrugged and moved the sheet, putting all of him on display.

"No, ew." She regretted it and turned around until he put his boxers and pants back on. "The male body is so ugly and kinda gross."

"You've seen a male body before, right?" He chuckled with a frown and put his shirt back on. Pursing her lips, she hummed a half-hearted 'mhm' and brushed her hair. "Knightley. You have, right?"

"Yes, of course I've seen a male body, I wasn't born yesterday." She waved it off and groaned when he gently took a hold of her arm.

"You've been with other people, right?" He asked again and her puppy dog eyes revealed the answer. "Oh God. You were a virgin?"

"Not fully." She cocked her head to the side and crossed her arms together. "Look, it's just... don't go all freak on me, okay. It's nothing and you didn't do anything wrong and my virginity really wasn't a big deal."

"Are you sure? Because to a lot of girls the first time is a really big thing and I don't want to ruin tha–"

"Luke, you're not. And it wasn't my first time, I've been with a woman before so I wasn't exactly completely inexperienced. Really, it wasn't a big deal at all. Why aren't you asking me–"

"We should normalize older people being virgins." He shrugged and it took her a lot of restraint to not kiss him right then. "I don't care how old you are."
