Chapter 26

Samantha's POV

With Christmas songs playing on a low pitch, I enjoyed the evening's cool breeze. I tucked in my hair that the wind kept blowing to my face of which I blamed myself for not bringing a hairband with me. 

Even though I had a book in my hand that I intended to read, I could barely concentrate because I had a lot on my mind. However, the atmosphere gave me a good escape from the troubles of the mind. 

With a low sigh, I dropped the book in my hands on my laps and sat back comfortably with my hands tucked across my chest. I lifted up my legs and rested them on the footstool.

I closed my eyes to have few minutes of rest to relieve my troubled mind of the different thoughts that ran wildly through it, one of which was my relationship with Adrian and my plans with Ryan. But right before I could drift off to my short nap, I heard something that made me open my eyes. The sound was distant and I couldn't make it out.
