Chapter 33 : I've Been Waiting for Ten Years

*Soren*

As much as I wanted to see what was in the box, I had a feeling Mila would prefer to look it over on her own. Besides, I caught a familiar scent and I had something important to check up on.

The door to my room clicked shut and I saw Thomas lounging casually, leaning against the wall outside my room.

“Thomas, it is good to see you.” I grinned and helped my hand out.

Thomas smirked and ignored my hand. He pulled me in for a quick hug.

“Don’t be so formal, Soren, we’ve known each other too long for that,” Thomas teased.

I rolled my eyes and gave him a one-armed hug.

“It is rare that you reach out to me these days,” Thomas said. “Regarding that thing you asked me to look–”

I held up a hand and shook my head, silencing him.

“Did you book a room?”

“Of course.”

“We’ll talk there,” I said.

“What’s wrong with your room?” Thomas asked, nodding to the door behind me.
