Chapter 345 A Late-night Swim Under The Stars

• It was difficult to wait the hours needed for everyone else to have gone to sleep. I couldn’t stop thinking about Nicholas, and being in his arms again. A late night swim sounded dangerous but I trusted him to keep me safe.
• All I had to do was wait.
• Finally, after Elva was deeply asleep and the house grew quiet, I exited my bedroom. The guard at the door nodded at me but didn’t otherwise comment. He probably noticed that Nicholas hadn’t returned to his room yet. The guard likely knew exactly where I was going.
