The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia sat quietly and didn't move.

After Tyler turned on the light, he stood by the bed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Olivia stood up and paused before slowly walking over. Tyler then suggested, "Let's get some rest."

Tyler, feeling a bit helpless, tugged at the blanket. Suddenly, Olivia was in his arms.

Tyler sensed her touch and chuckled softly, which made her blush.
