Evander was drying his hair with a towel. A drop of water rolled from his cheek to his collarbone.

With that, she picked up the extra blanket and pillow from the bed and laid them out neatly on the couch.

Even though it might rain that night and it would be cold to sleep on the couch, it was still better than sharing the same bed with Evander.

After making her bed, Angeline walked into the bathroom. She deliberately soaked in the bathtub longer than usual before getting dressed.

She went out of the bathroom nervously and glanced at the bed, but there was no one!
