255. FLOATING CITY

Noah stared at the closed door for whole minutes before blinking his eyes to snap out of his daze.

"What just happened," Noah muttered laying on his bed.

Ariana had left, but her last words rang in his ears like a church bell. Her confession had caught him unawares and he soon found himself thinking about the young woman. Her hasty escape had left Noah with no chance to respond, but he felt that her plan had always been that approach.

The situation felt surreal, strange even, but Noah could only settle for its abruptness.

An hour seemed to pass and it did, but Noah remained immersed in his thoughts about the young lady. His roommate eventually returned to the room and she immediately walked towards a bed to lie on. There wasn't any need to stick to one bed since only she and Noah were in the room.
