Her True Home

"Stop bugging me, William. Let's start eating!" Alexander grumbled.

"That's enough, William. Go back to your seat, and the same goes for you, Alyssa," Father Rock said firmly. "Now that everything is cleared up, let's focus on dinner so everyone can rest early."

Dinner began in deafening silence, and no one dared to break it.

Meanwhile, Rain's thoughts wandered back to that Saturday night with Alexander, replaying the moment he might have noticed her mole. It wasn't easily visible, even when her hair was up in a bun or ponytail. Only someone looking closely, like William had done earlier, would have seen it at all.

Then Rain's face flushed deeply as her mind drifted back to Saturday night and the quiet, intimate moment she'd shared with Alexander. 

'Was that when he realized?' she wondered, her cheeks growing warmer. It was that night when Alexander took her from behind.
