Three days had passed since Adrian told Zara he loved her.
Three long days.
Three frustrating days.
Three days of Zara avoiding every serious conversation he tried to have.

Maybe disbelief.
Maybe even another argument.
What he had not expected was complete avoidance.
Every time he entered a room, Zara suddenly remembered something she needed to do.
Every time he tried speaking to her, she gave him one word answers.
Every time he looked at her for more than three seconds, she narrowed her eyes suspiciously as if he were planning a crime.
By the fourth day, he was exhausted.

The mansion employees were professionals.
