John's P.O.V
I ran as fast as I could and evaded every soldier that tried to cut me off. Reaching my destination, I jumped up and landed on her balcony with a soft thud. There I see Violet laying down on one of the sofas on her balcony. A book in one hand and the other, hugging a throw pillow tightly to her chest. She pushed her body to the edge and looked at me with her hair dangling on the tiled floor. I gave her a small cheeky smile.
"Can I stay for the night?", I ask taking a seat on the sofa. She sat up properly and placed a handkerchief on the page of the book she was currently on before closing it up and placing it on the table. "Brother. I know you might feel safe and comfortable with me. I am your sister, yes. But I am still a proud woman and would never allow you to sleep with me in my bedroom.", she states crossing her legs and arms.
