Alaria:
The sun rose far too quickly.
And though somehow I had learned to love warnings today, I had hoped that it did not come too quickly. I wanted this to end. I thought that maybe if I did not go out, I was not going to see him. It was just not going to be real.
I couldn't sleep no matter how hard I tried.
I’d spent most of the night pacing my room like a restless ghost, replaying every second of the kiss I never should’ve allowed.
My lips still felt bruised.
My thoughts? A mess.
My chest, well, that ached more than I wanted to admit, in a way that I disliked more than anything else.
I was avoiding him.
Avoiding the villa corridors where he might be.
Avoiding the kitchen.
Avoiding the garden.
Avoiding everything that looked remotely like him.
Kai had made a joke at breakfa
