Chapter 37 You Always Get What You Want

Arianna felt the breath leave her face and heard the footsteps moving away from her. Straining her heart, she mustered up the energy to open her eyes. She slowly turned her head to the side.

The sun was setting outside her window, and it was beginning to become dark in the room. Someone was sitting on the lounge beneath the window, stretching his arms and legs lazily.

She tried to open her mouth and speak, but only inaudible sounds came out. Finally, she stuttered, “Get me a glass of water, please.”

In the light of the dusk, Travis casually met her gaze. His expression was lost in the light, and Arianna could not tell whether he was surprised or mocking, but he slowly stood up.

The lamp above her head suddenly turned on, and her eyes burned under the light. She closed her eyelids. She heard his footsteps walking to her bedside and the sound of a cupboard opening. He placed an opened bottle of mineral water into her hand.
