When Esme woke up, it was already morning. She found herself lying beside Silas, who was sleeping peacefully. She couldn't help but smile as she looked at his handsome face. It was still like a surreal moment for her as if she was living in a dream.
Last night's incident seemed to have happened in another reality, one that she wasn't sure she belonged in. Esme finally stepped into the new phase of her life. It was thrilling, yet scary. Her heart raced as she thought about the future, unsure of what lay ahead for her and Silas.
She was afraid that fate would turn against them, that something would come between them and tear them apart. She hadn't forgotten Silas's parents' desire to marry their son to Lara, and the thought of losing him was unbearable.
