[77 - A New Variable]

After making sure that Elijah was asleep, Seraphina slowly and very gently detangled herself from him, careful to not wake him up. She slid away from him but remained seated on the bed, watching him sleep.

He looked so pitiful and Seraphina could not help but feel sorry for the man because he was going to suffer a lot in the upcoming future and she too would end up breaking his heart. She was not going to lie by saying that she did not feel anything for him, that she was not attracted to Elijah.

Seraphina had indeed felt the magnetic pull towards him but there was no way that the simple attraction was ever going to develop into something. That was a chance, a risk that she did not plan to take. She was not going to risk her years of planning, years of struggle over just a minute crush.
