Stepping out of her room, she was met with a silent, dim hallway that was illuminated only by the moonlight coming in from the open window at the end of the corridor. Ave could hear the fierce beating of her heart as she walked up to a table where a vase of flowers was kept and took the dimly burning lamp there. She increased the flame and began to walk down the corridors of the chambers to see if she'd find Lucian in one of the rooms.
Whenever Lucian was in close proximity to her or was somewhere around her, her heart automatically picked up, and she felt a thrilling feeling in her body. Thus, she decided to rely on that feeling as she passed by door after door. If she had that feeling, it would mean he was in one of the rooms. However, even after walking to the end of the corridor on the floor of her room, she didn't feel anything.
