Charming Disruption

That's the thought that wakes me up when I open my eyes after too restless a night. I thought I'd rouse and realise it was just a dream, but no. When I turn round, Liliana is sleeping in my bed with me. And if she's there, I'm pretty sure her brother is too.

I wonder where he's stayed. Did he stay with Sophie? They slept together, I'm sure of it. How many times, exactly? How much did he enjoy it? Will they do it again? What if they start seeing each other? My God, are they going to date now?

I know Sophie is sentimental, and once she gets involved, it's for real. That seems to be the case with Arwan, to an extent.

But he's going back to the UK, right? He's not staying? He can't stay. Just as I couldn't stay in England. So what's he doing here?
