CHAPTER 36 The Rules

  Lottie's POV

  I wanted to be like the protagonist in a TV drama and lock myself in my room and indulge in my misery, but damn it, I just couldn't do it! I only stayed at home for a day, and I felt uncomfortable all over my body. I didn't want to be alone in my room!

  In the early morning, I knocked on Winnie's door with two huge black circles under my eyes.

  "What are you doing? Do you know what time it is? It's 4 in the morning!"

  I skillfully squeezed through the crack in the door she opened. She stomped her feet in frustration and finally resigned herself to closing her bedroom door heavily.

  "Lottie, just because of those bigger-than-your-eyes black circles on your face, I'll allow you to sleep on my bed for the last time."

  I obediently nodded and then lifted her blanket, occupying one-third of the bed space and leaving a gap of one person's distance from where she usually sleeps.

  "I know the rules."
