Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed
Chapter 258
The night was thick with silence, only pierced by the sound of lab equipment humming and keyboards clacking.
Owen glanced aside to see the girl meticulously noting down data, the soft light casting a delicate shadow across her face.
Before, he was used to pulling all-nighters alone, the quiet company of his experiments his only solace. But tonight, having someone there beside him felt strangely comforting, an unfamiliar yet intriguing change.
By the time they left the lab, it was already the early hours of the morning.
Back at their apartment building, they exchanged a brief "Goodnight," with Roseanne heading into her apartment first.
Owen couldn't help but watch her slender figure disappearing through the door, reminding him of the afternoon's downpour when he saw her standing in the hotel lobby, looking as though she'd stepped out of a painting. Her elegance seemed out of place in their mundane surroundings.
Owen shook his head to shake off his thoughts and quickly ducked back into his apartment, feeling strangely vulnerable.
