Reunion (2)

Luan landed on the balcony soundlessly and frowned as he saw the door open. Jardine was much warmer than the west, but the late autumn nights were still chilly, and people were too prone to catch cold easily.

He slowly stepped inside as he listened to the even breathing of a sleeping person.

The room was lit by a single candle and frowned once more. It was her carelessness to always sleep with the unattended flame. He must have Seth install no-flame heaters and alarms through the mansion first thing in the morning.

He came closer to the bed and watched the sleeping person.

Arianell was having peaceful dreams. For the first time since their reunion after a few years, he felt like he could calm down as she wasn't going to disappear anywhere.
