A New Friend

CHAPTER 130

Snow and I stepped out of the car, and as Snow escorted me to my room, I couldn't shake the warmth that had settled in my chest.

Was this love?

I mean, I once loved Ivan, but after his cruel betrayal, I saw myself as level-headed with my feelings but meeting Snow proved I had more work to do on myself.

The mansion was quiet as we climbed the stairs, proof that Aira and Storm weren't back or even if they were, sleeping would be the best course of action given that Storm had school the next day.

When we reached my door, he paused, his gaze lingering on me. "Goodnight, Zara," he said, his voice low.

"Goodnight, Snow," I replied, watching as he turned and walked away.

I stepped into my room, closing the door behind me. Tonight was unforgettable, and as I crawled into bed, my heart felt full in a way it hadn't in a long time.
