Chapter 59: Food For Thoughts

LUMINA The hot water rolled down my body from my hair as I stood in our master bathroom shower, finally allowing myself to have a moment to decompress from everything from what had to be one of the most stressful evenings of my life. I shook my head in resignation as I still remembered Sophia scent that had clogged my nose and Silvia scatting remarks. I was also surprised a little by Xenois behavior throughout this evening. He seemed to be the only person on my side. How ironic and here I was expecting it to be only Samuel and his support would be polite Indifference as usual. The steam rose around feeling like a protective barrier, and for the first time in hours, I could breathe without feeling like someone was watching every move that I did, waiting for me to make a mistake before insulting me. I leaned against the tile wall, letting the water wash away the tension that had been building in my muscles since the moment Sophia and Riley had walked through Silvia’s front door.
