[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: CARRIAGE RIDE ~ TORI AMOS]
The rest of the day, Axilla made sure to avoid seeing Cortez. Her body had been exposed to him countless times, and it was becoming alarming. First, when he helped her treat the wound on her back, then at Avon inside the bathtub, and now again this morning with her chest touching his body. As an unmarried woman, her body had been seen too much by Cortez.
"What if he decides not to court me because I'm too loose?" Axilla muttered to herself in a low voice. She shook her head, getting rid of the thoughts. "He didn't see me," she nodded.
Kayla, who was passing by, saw Axilla hiding her face behind a pillar. She tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention.
"Ah! You startled me!" Axilla held her chest while glaring at her friend.
Kayla twitched her lips, "Why? Did you do something wrong?" She narrowed her eyes.
