Chapter 12: Painting of El escorial

• The rays of the sunlight streaming down the window blinds woke Skylar the next morning as she slowly opened her eyes.

• Skylar shut her eyes immediately she felt him stirred from sleep. She held her breath as she lied on his chest pretending to sleep. She didn’t want to see the regret in his eyes, when he woke to see her in his arms.
