Chapter 17

Short Notice

Clara pov

It was 11:00pm, she sat on the sofa waiting for Kelvin. Initially she was angry but as time passed he wasn't back yet. She began to get worried, she gave up her wait, she needed rest and she was getting it.

She jerked up from bed, draped with sweat. She had a dream a terrible one. That Kelvin was dead, she sprinted out of her bed downstairs. She hoped with all hope he was at home. She halted when she heard a voice coming from the kitchen.

"Kelvin?." She tripped almost falling to the ground, She closed her eyes awaiting the impact, but it never came.

"Clumsy Clara, where are you off to with such speed."

"Thank goodness you are alive"

He tilted his head looking at her.

"In flesh if I may add, and will you stop tripping the next time I might not be there." He whispered to her, causing shiver to run down her spine. He let her go after that.

"Where did you go last night? you didn't even call me!"
