Chapter 215

In the middle of the night, for some reason, I felt a chill breeze sneak through the window, probably a signal that autumn was creeping in. The blanket over me felt too thin, and as I reached to pull it closer, I remembered I had dozed off while blow-drying my hair. Max wasn't beside me, so I got up, intending to close the window.

Concerned, I made my way downstairs, only to find Max sitting alone when I reached the garden.

He noticed me approaching and smiled, waving me over, "What brings you here?"

"I thought I saw Richard with you," I said, looking around.
