Where We Left...

Adam and Stella arrived at the mansion after midnight. Adam carried her upstairs princess style. 

Stella had her arms wrapped around his neck as her face was resting in the crook of his neck. She had her eyes closed peacefully. Her mind drifted back to what had happened at the party. Her body shook in fear as she thought about what might have happened if Lillian wasn't there with her.

Adam felt her body tremble in his arms and tightened her grip around her body.

"You alright sweetheart?" He asked her, his voice laced with worry. He didn't hear her reply but felt her nodding her head against his neck. He heaved a sigh of relief as he stepped into his room with her in his arms.
