Chapter67

#Chapter67

I had always considered my room as a sanctuary of some sort. Not many people had been inside my room because I thought it gave an insightful look into my life and my thoughts, so I was nervous about showing it to Harper. But right now, I was more nervous about the dinner and Emily seeing Harper, than I was of Harper seeing my room.

/"You're so tense./" Harper said, bringing me back from my thoughts. I nodded and sighed.

He walked towards me, held my hands in his own and pulled me. He snaked his arms around my waist and looked down at me nervously. I put my own arms around his waist, gazing up at his tormented expression, while I smiled inwardly at his effort to ease me off my worries.

I felt my tense muscles relax in his embrace and a sigh of pleasure released my lips. He pulled back to gaze into his green orbs and felt my lips transform into a smile.
