Chapter 306

She set her towel down on the chair and slipped into the water, letting herself enjoy a rare moment of peace.

Sylvie said something else, but their voices faded as the two of them walked away down the corridor.

Elodie rested her chin on the edge of the hot spring, glancing at the door before letting her eyes drift shut.
