My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

When I woke up at midnight, Hendrix was not around. So, I got out of bed and went to Anne's bedroom.

Anne was sleeping soundly. Hendrix had given her room warm and cozy interior designs. As she slept quietly, she looked like an angel that had fallen from the sky.

After watching her quietly as she slept, my wandering mind came back to the present moment. Much to my astonishment, Hendrix had been standing behind me.

I sluggishly turned to look at him. Sensing I was still a little drowsy, he walked towards me. He held me in his arms and hugged me for a while. After that, he led me out of Anne's bedroom.

We went back to our bedroom. Lying on the bed, I asked, "What did Josiah tell you?"

I didn't get to ask him about it as I was enervated on our way back home.

He looked at me and pursed his lips. After a brief pause, he replied, "It's about Anne. The Saunders family found out about her. They want her to stay with them."
