Chapter 248

• " Did you sleep well? " Ava asked and he nodded once.
• She smiled " come on " and led him back to his room.
• The room was dark so she left him standing and quickly went over to the window pane to draw back the curtains. Sunlight came in and the room was alive with brightness. She turned and met Alex right behind her again. He stood so close that his breath fanned the tendrils of her hair and she inhaled his breath unconsciously. Hmmm, he had a fresh mint breath. Well, why wouldn't he? She just fed him cake mixed with mint. She frowned, wondering why Jack had told her Alex didn't like close contact when obviously, he liked being close to her. Or maybe it's just her, she thought, smiling.
