Ariana had her dinner with Lucian but she made sure, she didn't look at him as the scene from earlier kept rushing through her mind.
Lucian too didn't bring up the topic and had his dinner silently. Once they were done both excused themselves to their respective room.
Once Ariana entered her room she shut the door and walked toward her bed. She thought after immersing her attention in her studies she would be able to skip that moment when Lucian was so close to her, but she failed.
The more she tried to forget him the more he kept appearing in her thoughts. "I have to erase everything so it won't be an awkward moment for the both of us" telling to herself, she pulled out her books and started reading.
She thought studying would help her forget everything, but the more she read instead of stopping her thoughts from thinking about Lucian, her eyelids turned heavy, and before she could realize she fell asleep.
