Friday, after Chase finished school for the day, he teleported back to his room. Since he had to go alone, he often chose teleportation over walking all the way back to the dorm.
When he arrived, he found Diana sitting on the bed, her legs crossed and hanging off the edge as she stared at the elevator. She hadn't noticed him yet, but he could already tell she was waiting for him. His gaze lingered on her flawless appearance for a while, making his mouth go dry. She looked so beautiful.
Unable to resist, he snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her in a sudden embrace. Startled, Diana tensed for a moment, but upon realizing it was him, she let her guard down and pulled him into a kiss. She had indeed been waiting—being home without him felt unbearably lonely. Even though the twins and Hecate were around, they were either playing or learning magic from Hecate, leaving her alone in the room most of the time.
