Ch 58
Madeline POV
□□□
My lips chatter, cold.
But my stomach is burning.
Did he just say that in the heat of a moment, or?
Did he mean what he said?
I keep my lips shut, as I wrap my hair in a towel.
A bathrobe to keep myself covered, and he walks out with a towel wrapped around his waist.
Silence around us.
Howard must be home by now.
And my phone must be busting with too many calls.
But I don't care, for once, I don't care what's happening outside this room.
I feel like an adult, to be honest.
Like I grew up suddenly.
In a blink of a time.
“What time is it?”
I ask him and he looks at his phone!
"It's eleven"
He answers as he looks at me,
His voice low
“Your curfew time is close?
Do you want to go home?”
He asks, his eyes holding no hint of any feelings…
