Dreading the arrival of that moment, I ended up taking a very long time in the bath while listening to the sound of the door opening to announce his arrival. At first, I didn’t want to face him but when it took such a long time for him to return to our bedroom, I started to wonder where he went.
“This is so stupid…” I mumbled to myself before letting out a sigh.
The water in the tub was no longer warm and I had gotten quite bored. Just as I climbed out of the bathtub, I heard a few knocks on the door.
…Bradon?
I wrapped a towel quickly around my body and headed out of the bathroom. Since Bradon would never knock on our bedroom door like that, I knew that my first reaction in thinking that it was him was definitely incorrect.
“Who is it?” I called out questioningly as I approached the bedroom door.
“It’s me…” a man’s voice replied.
“Zain?” I replied, after recognizing his voice.
“Yes, My Lady…” he replied.
