I Hope You Dream Of Me

"Fine! But we are not sleeping in the same bed," Lotus announced, getting up and heading towards the room. 

"Of course!" Razial quickly followed. 

The room had a double bed, covered in white sheets and a mattress on the floor as well. There was a small window which had been opened just a fraction to let the smoke of burning coals escape. They had been placed in a large metal container to keep the room warm. 

Lotus placed her satchel aside on the small wooden table. 

She began to unbutton her coat. She wanted to take it off so she could slip under the thick duvets. She would have loved to change her clothes, too, but that wasn't possible for now. Razial was eager to speak, she could sense his keenness. 

"What do you want to say?" Lotus firmly asked as she tried to take the coat off but he stepped forward and held the lapels of her pink coat, carefully pulling it down and separating it from her body.
