And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 0347

Letting my eyes gaze around my surroundings, I took in the shadows of the trees and the darkness that hid beneath the floral bushes. No matter where the darkness looked through, the double moons above let light glisten around the area, shimmering off the lake that lay just beyond the tree's clearings.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" His question caused my gaze to shift in his direction as I quickly closed my gaping mouth.

"Yes, it is. But why are we out here? I thought you said we were going to have dinner?"

Taking my hand in his, he led me forward and past the treeline closer to the water. It was then I saw what he had set up, and the breath was slowly taken from me. Upon the ground laid a lush purple blanket with gold pillows and a low sitting table.

The table was piled with different fruits, meats, and cheeses elegantly placed with such precision that if Silas had really done all this himself, it must have taken a lot of time. "This is amazing, you did all of this?"

Turning to face him, he stood behind me with his hands in his pockets as he shrugged his shoulders and smiled. His hair fell softly in front of one eye, causing him to quickly brush it back on top of his head. "I wanted to make you something special. Since the moment you got here, it seems like you haven't found it easy to adjust, so... I wanted to do something nice for you."

No matter the words he said, this definitely wasn't just a friendly dinner.

Walking towards me, he gestured for me to take a seat, and without hesitation, I did. This was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for me, and the more I spent time with Silas, the more I realized how I had completely misjudged him. "You're really not like how I expected you to be."
