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.

Caroline had planned to use his former room's bathroom to avoid disturbing him but suddenly remembered she hadn't brought her clothes. She would need to go back after all.

After her shower, Caroline navigated through the unlit living room, instinctively finding her way to the sofa and slowly sitting down.

Her hand reached habitually for a throw pillow, but instead of the soft cushion she expected, her fingers brushed against something unfamiliar.

The object had a firm feel to the touch. Caroline wondered if it might be one of Eloise's toys or something belonging to Alistair.

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...
