Chapter 85: Thorns (1)

It came upon the time for the sun to set and Aurora had slept much later than she intended to. Vincent stood outside her door contemplating if he should allow her to keep sleeping because she was more tired than she thought she was or to wake her up to let her eat dinner. He had already postponed dinner thirty minutes later than it was supposed to start. She had to be hungry by now even if her growling stomach hadn't woken her up.

Deciding it was best for her to get something to eat, shower, and then go back to bed, Vincent was about to knock on her door but Mari arrived at the same time.

"Would you like me to get her for you, Vincent?" Mari asked when she saw him by the door. She had just returned back to help Aurora prepare for dinner and thought she was late but a worker informed her dinner would be served late today.
