Sweet scent lingering

Li Lanni felt confused. Was she mad? That man had disrespected her. It was inexcusable no matter what he had to say. 

He had apologized before kissing her, and that proved that he did it even while knowing that it would upset her. 

She should be angry with everything related to him. She certainly wasn't... this was bad. She was even sniffing at her clothes repeatedly, she was hugging them close to her chest even though she knew she shouldn't be doing it. 

Ahh...she didn't know what she even wanted anymore! What did that pervert do to her?

To save her brain from going completely crazy, she quickly changed into comfortable clothes before going to do the laundry. When she was done, she went to her mother's art studio to pass the time admiring the paintings. 

It did help to calm her mind a little. 

But it did not prepare her for what was awaiting her.
