A Sense Of Belonging

Silence followed. Her pride told her to return to her room. But after being injured for weeks, she could only choose a company or pride and the earlier felt a better choice.

"Is there anyone else living in this tower?" Cedric shook his head at once and her heart stirred. It only meant that he was coming to look for her. 

She did not know why but the truth made her feel better. "So you were coming to see me." the question slipped her before she could stop it. Ah! She was making a fool of herself. 

"I was." he was? What kind of reply was that? His mood changed or he had some other work? She did not like how he replied curtly when she was trying to stretch the conversation. But she needed to talk. If she did not talk, she would feel like she was losing her senses to speak.

"How did you reach the windows?" she blinked and then grinned like a cheshire cat.
