The cold, moist piece of cloth felt better on her skin. Veronica closed her eyes and let Arthur wipe her body. She relaxed her body as her sweats were cleaned off.
However, her body became alerted when his hand and the cloth brushed over her breasts. Her body subconsciously froze. The silence, the soft breathing sounds, and his cool touch started to make her nervous.
Veronica couldn't stand this nerve-wracking atmosphere anymore and asked, "The curse. How did the curse break?"
"Did you not know how to break the curse?"
"Yes, but I didn't know what it meant. She only said that I have to stay near you and can't let you find out about my curse. If you find out, my curse will be permanent. Furthermore, staying by your side, my heart has to be distanced from you. This way, the curse will break automatically."
