That night Narika wasn't able to sleep, how could she do so when her mind had failed to do anything but wander off to dwell in Adrik's proposal?
Just like all times, it was just her alone in the house. Her mother had gone to the hospital for the night shift, and her dad was obviously not coming home tonight.
She was glad that Adrik had given her a breathing space tonight, unlike the very first time that he had followed her to her house.
But the loneliness was on another level. Her mind went off to the good old times, when she would have gone to Zoe's place for a sleepover, or when she would come to her place and then they would talk about anything, until they fell asleep.
But that good memory, and the person in it was no longer a friend. Right now, there was a deep hollow space in her heart, a dark room where Zoe and everything that has to do with her, had been locked up in her heart.
