Ava by L.G.Savage (HeartBreak)

Chapter 89

Zebe stood just inside the glass doors and watched Ava sitting by the pool with her knees drawn. She had showered and then prepared her own food, which she had eaten in her room as she had done the other night.

He sat down next to her and dipped his feet into the water. He liked doing this. It reminded him of the beach at home, but the smell of chlorine always ruined the illusion. Ava seemed to like it too, so maybe after the evaluations, he would take her to his favourite spot in the woods. A natural pool that no one else dared to visit because it belonged to Shadow.
