Alex didn't try to deny it. He kept his smile and nodded, "Yes, for a year, we will sleep in the same bed together."
Eve felt that there was something strange with that statement, as if he was just trying to appease her.
But she had no more energy to argue with him. She turned to face him and rested on his arm as usual and said, "Go to sleep now, it's not healthy if you don't sleep past midnight."
"Mm," Alex gently tucked the hair strands covering her cheeks behind her ears, so he could see her sleeping face clearer. "You are beautiful, Evelyn."
Eve's cheeks grew hot again. She brushed his hands off and muttered, "Just go to sleep, will you? I have to wake up early tomorrow."
"Alright, alright," Alex gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Good night, Sweetheart."

Alex watched as Eve's car drove out of the driveway. He sipped his morning coffee and commented, "Sometimes, I don't understand why you are so self-disciplined, Eve. Nobody would punish you if you're late anyway."
