Chapter 81

The next morning, Lucianne thought of looking for clues about the intruder who followed her and Xandar to the freesia field. But when she recalled it rained for a few hours the previous night; she aborted her plan. Any tracks or trails left would’ve been washed away. She shifted and began running down the familiar path.

When Lucianne reached the river, she was a little disappointed that Xandar wasn’t there. But when she started sniffing again, she caught a faint scent of acacia wood and forest trees so she turned to look around in anticipation. When she found nothing, she started sniffing the air before a large pair of arms lifted her off the ground.

‘Moming, beautiful.’Xandar brought her face to face with him, his animal smiling in radiance.

Lucianne smirked, ‘You were hiding somewhere, weren’t you, Xandar?’

He nuzzled his nose with hers, ‘Thought it’d be nice to surprise you. But you don’t seem very surprised.’

‘I caught your scent.’

‘Ah, that explains it.’ He leaned against the same tree and placed Lucianne on his lap as he started stroking her back. ‘How did you sleep, Lucy?’,

‘Hm. After the 50-page report? With a slight headache.’

His hands stopped and he peered into her eyes in concern, ‘Do you still have a headache? Maybe you should take the day off.’

‘Xandar, I’m fine. I slept it off. I can’t believe the fifty pages aren’t even everything yet. Chief Dalloway will surely be busy for the next few days. So, how did you sleep, my darling?’
