Xavier’s pov:

This is what I had feared. A weakness.

I had a fucking weakness.

And that weakness was Aurora.

(Aurora’s pov)

The door creaks open about ten minutes later after Xavier stormed out. A blonde head girl enters, her soft smile brightening the tense room. Her face was familiar, she was perhaps the other girl who brought food for me the other day. In her hands was a tray filled with what I presume was food.

Feeling flustered, I turned to the girl, my eyes falling on the tray she held in her grasp. Sighing, I nod. “One bite won’t hurt I guess.”

She beams, her glossy pink lips splitting into a dazzling smile. “Good! Because you’re so thin

Her eyes widen in horror. “Oh, I didn’t mean it like that. So sorry if I offend you. It’s just that it would be lovely to see you have a proper meal.”

She smiles sheepishly, placing the tray on the bed. “I made sure to give you a bunch of grapes. They’re so big this season and juicy too. Ah and you must try the butter biscuits, they’re to die for. Oh and the lemon tarts
