Chapter 142 : Borrowed Power

*Sasha*

I woke up to the door closing as Lucas left early for work again. I’d seen him a few times in passing over the past few weeks, and it was hardly enough to say “good morning,” and “goodnight.”

He’d give Hunter and me a kiss when he was leaving and exchange a few words before passing out at night. I felt like we didn’t even have a relationship anymore. He was off running around but I had no idea what he was doing. He barely had time to update me on the project.

I was busy with my own restoration project, but not like Lucas. It didn’t keep my mind off of how much I missed him.

“How are you feeling?” Lena asked. She came by daily to help paint the walls of the wing we were restoring. I supposed even a queen needed something to keep her busy.

“About the project?” I asked, running a paint roller up the wall.

“I meant about Lucas.”

“Oh.” I sighed and dropped my paint roller in the tray. Small droplets splattered over the dropcloth. “I still barely see him.”
