Adam POV
I could see relief wash across Ella’s face. She must have been really worried about staying longer than she had planned. Even now, the thought of her actually leaving the mansion and hiding elsewhere was out of the question in my mind.
It had taken me so long to find her that I didn’t want her to leave as quickly as she had shown up. If I was honest, I don’t think I ever wanted her to leave.
I was getting ahead of myself, though. There would be time to talk about that later.
“Let’s get you back to your room,” I said as we headed for the door.
I carried Ella’s clothes, so she could stay bundled in the blanket.
Once we reached her door, I could see her shoulders sink as she relaxed.
“Thanks, Adam.”
“Of course.”
Ella opened the door and slipped inside, but she put an open palm around the door. I placed the clothes in her hand.
