Chapter Ninety Eight

Eira

Dinner was delicious and yet it was extremely hard focusing my attention on anything else but him.

We stayed in silence for a while. It was uncomfortable. My guilt had such a strong grip on me. It couldn't fully look him in the eye without remembering what happened at the party. Without remembering that I had hurt him.

"I should leave you to it. I'll sleep on the couch" he said finally. I didn't know why my heart crashed with sudden disappointment when he said it. All I know is that I wanted him near. I retired up to my room. Hours passed and the whole house was blanketed In darkness and buried in silence. For some reason, everyone was asleep.

I tossed and turned restlessly, unable to sleep. Untill the thoughts of Sebastian assaulted me, until it became really hard thinking about anything but him. Deciding that I've had enough of the torture, I grabbed my robe and decided that I will down to him. I went down the stairs quietly, the pads of my foot touching the ground lightly.
