Then there were the times when we’d sneak off to raid the pantry for snacks. The kitchen seemed even bigger back then.Yani and I were momentarily alone in as workers flitted in and out. We took that as a moment to rest. Other workers took breaks, as a slave that wasn’t a luxury I was allowed.Yani
Isla’s POVThe music began to fade out. My heart was beating so fast, my anxiety must have been in overdrive. I stepped back from Lucian.I was grateful to be done with out dance.
