•CHAPTER 17: RUN•

The veranda in my room is always my quiet place. This is where I usually read my books or go stargazing at night, I just wanted to have peace and gladly, Dylan did not ask me anything at all after all that he heard earlier. 

I told him to stay in the master's bedroom to rest.

With heavy emotions I left the door on the veranda open and went inside. Surprisingly, Dylan is waiting for me outside my room. 

His gray eyes are focusing on me. 

Dylan took a few steps towards me and hugged me. I froze when I heard his voice. 

"Are you okay?" He asks as he caress my back. I am trying to pull myself from his embrace but I'm weak to do so. 

"I-I am just fine. You can let go of me now." I whispered. 

He tightened his arms around me. I felt secured and safe, it caused a strange feeling in my stomach. 

"Let us stay like this. You need it."
