Hades~
I stepped into the room and the first thing that attacked me was her damn scent. I took a deep breath and she filled my lungs like the euphoric smoke of an imported cigar. This was what I had been having to face since I had her moved into my room. Honey, sweet and subtle laced with lavender earthy, flora and hypnotising.
My gaze shifted to the bed but I was surprised to see that she was not snuggled against my pillow as she normally was whenever I returned to the room at well past midnight. Uneasiness gripped me as my steps became more hurried. I turned on the lights and illumination flooded the room. But she was not there. A stubborn lump formed in my throat.
