Seated on the hard mattress of this rundown inn's bed, Amelia's heart was beating fast. It wasn't that she was scared, but just imagining the things that were going to happen when her Master came back made her restless.
This was a new feeling and experience. She had trouble processing everything.
Amelia quietly continued to eat the apples Julien had sliced for her until he eventually returned.
As he neared her and she felt his presence, a strange sense of comfort dawned on her.
Julien boldly sat beside her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulling her close.
Amelia felt his warmth and her tensed body began relaxing.
Julien rubbed the side of her arm and said, "We weren't able to sit down and talk properly since that day. I'm sure there's a lot you need to say and a lot you want to hear from me."
"Mm…" Amelia hummed in agreement.
Her Master wasn't wrong about this. They indeed had things to talk about.
