Aria's conversation with Hailey didn't end as she would expect; she didn't even get the time to tell her about her encounter with a feral, and that if not for Tristan, then she wouldn't be alive today.
Unfortunately, Hailey's dad kept ringing up her phone, telling her to get ready to have dinner at her future husband's place. It was obvious; Hailey had already set her mind to do as her father's wish, but she couldn't accept it.
"Are you happy, Aria?"
That question kept ringing in her head even after she arrived back at Kirha Villa.
Aria stepped into the quiet, empty living room and let out a weary sigh before slumping onto the couch. Reaching for her phone, she opened Tristan's last message.
'Don't wait for me. I've stocked the fridge with groceries; make whatever you like if you're hungry.'
Where had he gone? What if he reached his limit of using Zolan's eyes? Then how would he make it back?
