"Good morning," she said flirtatiously,  her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.

He smiled, feeling a pang of guilt as he took in her beauty. They were entangled in each other's arms, their bodies still wrapped in the warmth of the night before.

But as he reached for his phone, his heart sank. There were multiple missed calls from Abigail, his devoted lover. He felt a wave of guilt wash over him, mixed with a hint of fear.

He knew he had to face the music, to confront the consequences of his actions. But for now, he just lay there, frozen in a mix of emotions.

"Everything okay?" she asked, noticing the look on his face.

He nodded, trying to hide the truth. "Just work stuff," he said, trying to sound convincing.

But she saw right through him. "You're not a good liar," she said, her voice playful but also concerned.

He sighed, knowing he had to come clean. But for now, he just kissed her, trying to push away the guilt and enjoy the moment.
