Fortunately, Cole still had enough sense to cooperate with Alessia. Only as he collapsed onto the bed did he
finally let himself go.
Alessia sighed, then went to the bathroom to soak a washcloth in hot water. She returned and gently wiped his
face and neck.
“Honestly, you're not even much of a drinker. Why try to keep up with everyone
else?”
“I won't do it again.” Even through the haze of alcohol, Cole always answered
Alessia without hesitation.
“Miss Morton, here's the hangover remedy,” the butler called, knocking at the door.
Alessia took the mug, closing the door behind her.
“Sit up and have a few sips. It'll help.” She eased Cole upright, supporting him as he
drank.
The room was quiet, harsh white light buzzing overhead. Once Cole lay back down, Alessia switched off the main
light, leaving only the dim lamp on the bedside table.

spent years navigating the cutthroat world of business. Only in moments like this could he let his guard down,
allowing himself to be vulnerable and show his softer side to the person closest to him.
“I love you so, so much...” With the example of his parents, Parrish and Jade-the perfect couple-Cole had never
been shy about sharing his feelings.
“I know. | love you, too...” Alessia’s eyes softened as she leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips.
The golden glow of the bedside lamp bathed the room in warmth, making the moment tender and intimate.
Meanwhile, back in Dorm 206, her friends were squealing and hugging each other
in excitement.
The next morning, when Alessia arrived at class, Eand the others were all giving her knowing looks.
“Well, look who finally showed up,” Eteased.
Alessia just laughed. “Oh, con. What are you guys thinking all day?”
They only teased her for a minute, keeping it light, then moved on.
“Lessie, your phone rang a bunch while you were in the shower,” Esaid, munching on a bag of spicy chips.

“Hey, sis.” Even at eight, Ivan’s voice still had a childish lilt.
