Aiden -
When Aiden woke, the room was dark. Heavy blackout curtains kept the sunlight from seeping in. He was thankful for this as his head throbbed. He recognized the room as the one he stayed in at Antebellum.
Beside the bed in a chair was Emmaline. She was smiling at him. The sight of her made his heart flutter. She leaned over and took his hand in hers. Her cool skin felt perfect against his warm.
"Thank you. For saving me," he whispered, his voice gravelly.
"Why did you go there alone, without telling us? We could've made a plan, we could..."
"I thought you wanted me to leave. To get out of your hair."
Emmaline smiled a sad smile.
"I didn't want you to get hurt though. You should've known Damian would want revenge for you disobeying him. That he would try to kill you."
