Chapter 170 Not So Happy Reunion

• Bastien
• I was getting ready for bed when I felt it. The strangest sensation deep in my chest, like something was tethered to my ribcage and dragging me forward. I was helpless to resist it, following the pull even though it could have been leading me anywhere.
• Arabella shouted after me that I couldn’t leave. We couldn’t afford for me to be seen, and even if no one connected us, there was a curfew. She tried to stop me, begging me to tell her what was going on and not to go, but I simply shook her off. I don’t know what came over me - it was like I was in a trance.
