Evander's POV
The night felt agonizingly long as I stood outside Eliam's room, waiting for Claire to emerge. My heart clenched with every passing moment, the fear of her leaving gnawing at my chest. The thought of her slipping away again was unbearable.
I stayed rooted to the spot, refusing to leave, even as the mansion grew quieter with the deep hours of the night.
Time slipped by until a faint golden light began creeping through the glass walls, bathing the corridor in its warm glow. I blinked as I realized that morning had arrived.
I dragged a weary hand down my face and muttered to myself, breaking the stillness. I turned toward the guest room next to Eliam's, quickly stepping inside to change. My movements were rushed, almost frantic, as if hurrying would prevent her from vanishing.
