After a shower, Kristina helped me change the bandages and checked the wound. "The wound is healing well. In another two or three days, the stitches can be removed."
"By the way, where's Lily?" I asked.
"She went to her grandmother's."
It dawned on me that Kristina sometimes sent Lily to her parents' house on weekends.
"So, it's just the two of us tonight?"
I felt a rush of excitement, a hint of ambiguity in my eyes.
Kristina caught my drift, but she said, "No. I'm on my period."
What?
I suddenly felt disappointed. It was not great timing for her period, especially now. It was truly frustrating.
Kristina originally wanted me to sleep in the guest room, but I said, "In the morning, I want to see you when I wake up."
She surrendered.
Even if we couldn't have sex, just holding each other was wonderful.
My hands naturally took advantage.
