SATISFIED AT THE THOUGHT that Tyesha was safely confined in the silvery walls of Level 0, Casselba decides to take a quick detour to her own country home.
She rises at dawn, a quick kiss on the lips of both Caden and Ryan and she hurries for a dip in the large bathroom tub. Both men are still asleep when she grabs on a pair of sturdy calfskin boots and sweeps for the stairs.
Thankfully, she finds her Aston Martin waiting just outside the Manor's doors. She glides for it and in minutes, she is winding out into the quaint pulls of a picturesque countryside. The sun is barely out but the sky is well-lit in splashes of lilac and gold, streaks of it that turn the heavens above into an artful vision.
The wind is cold as many nights now, dew has begun to graze over the state. Though the days are yet to be awash in a full-blown snowfall, the trees are already bearing the silvery proof of the dawning winter.
