Chapter 25 – Discovering
Last night was the first night that Julietta didn’t clutch me like I would run away if she let me go. I must admit, I was surprised that I wasn’t forced to sleep on the floor, especially after how she reacted at the end of the night. It was strange to feel cushioned and warm that it didn’t feel right.
I turn over and notice that her back is still to me before slowly removing the covers and getting out of bed. I quickly make my way to the bathroom to go toilet and brush my teeth before hopping back into the bed.
Julietta rolls over to face me, and we make eye contact as I raise the covers over my legs.
“Morning,” I mumble.
“Morning, my beautiful dove, how did you sleep?” she asks while sitting up.
“Um, I sleep alright,” I mumble while avoiding eye contact.
