The bedroom and the guest room were divided by just a single wall. Her heart had slowly turned cold. Just as the light was pulled down past the horizon by the encroaching night, everything had disappeared.

Vespera had showered and was lying on the bed, prepared to drift off to sleep. She closed her eyes, attempting to steady her breathing.

Yet, just as she was on the verge of slumber, a particular male charmer slowly began to infiltrate her thoughts. He stirred her heart and even disrupted her breath. In frustration, she rolled onto her side.
