When Caroline entered the apartment, she glanced toward the bedroom. The door was shut tight, leading her to assume Alistair had already gone to bed.

She peeked in on the sleeping Eloise, planted a goodnight kiss, and quietly slipped out of the room.

Even though Caroline had converted Alistair's old room into a library, it still had a bathroom attached.

But Eloise wasn't one to leave her things scattered around, and from what she'd observed, Alistair was too neat and organized for

that.

Uncertain about the object she was touching, she decided to investigate further.

In the darkness, Caroline expanded her exploration, feeling around more extensively.

Hmm, it was warm too...
