Chapter 196
Aaliyah
Hours after returning from the market with Imani and spending the afternoon training with Poppy, who had been more than happy to use her magic to slam me against the wall and beat my ass, I was exhausted and dragged my ass into the dining room.
When I thought about last night and how I had dreamed about Tristan coming to my room and making love to me, a smile tugged on my lips.
"You're smiling," Poppy said as she served me food on my plate. "I feel like it's very rare to see you smile since you came to this house."
I turned to Poppy. "I don't think you should be worried about that."
I felt my smile widen as I leaned my back against the chair and folded my arms. Tristan had kissed me in my dream last night, and everything felt so real. Not just that, but he'd made love to me and found release, whispering my name in my ears.
I caught sight of Makayla walking downstairs, and she was holding a storybook in one hand.
