Chapter 24: Return to the Mainland

He makes it to the door frame before turning around and rushing back over to her. Nick kisses Tris quickly before flashing her a smile and hurrying out of the washroom.

“She’s so upset she decided to try and unwind in a bath,” Nick replies, stretching the truth a little.

Lord Draco shakes his head at hearing Nick’s explanation.
