CHAPTER THIRTY: I Love You

Dinner went well as everyone was catching up on where we’d left off, forgetting about the attack or my uncle, everything seemed a little bit normal again. We finished eating and we all went to the sitting room and settled for a movie. Adrian and Julia excused themselves before we finished the movie but we stayed through it, when the movie ended we both decided we were going to bed.

Connor and I got to our room, pulled off our clothes and had our baths together, we played like little kids laughing, remembering and sharing our funny moments together. We got out of our bath and laid on the bed.

“You were about to say something before we had dinner?” He asked.

“Oh. That’s nothing, it’s fine. Don’t worry.” I lied as I told him between fake smiles.

“You’re sure?” He asked.

“Yes, I am very sure.” I nodded before laughing at my attempt to be a child.

He laid down and I laid on his chest, listening to the rhythm of his heartbeat and hearing him breath. I closed my eyes.
