He doesn't come back the whole night. Which is good. I really didn't want him to hear me cry myself to sleep. I wake up with puffy, red eyes, a numb mind and a heavy conscious.
My thoughts have tired themselves by running in circles, my heart is a traitorous bastard. The only solace I can offer myself is this;
It's going to be fine. Soon this Hunt will be over and you'll never see Sebastian again.
Both of you will get busy in your new lives, forget this ever happened. I splash water on my face, hissing when it stings my eyes but the puffiness decreases a bit due to the cool water. I change clothes and put my hair in a messy braid.
I'm sitting on the bed, mind blank like an untouched paper when the door opens. Sebastian's eyes meet mine momentarily, I feel my heart jump to my throat.
