Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Leaving

Mikalya’s P.O.V

The first rays of the sun woke me up from a deep slumber, causing me to groan out in irritation.

I tried to shift into a better position without opening my eyes, but found that my bed had turned into granite. The cool morning air felt good on my skin. After enduring the heat of the desert for so long, I was glad to be back in the mountains where I could once again enjoy the cold weather and ditch those god-awful skirts for good.

But why was there sunlight inside my room?

I brought my hand up to cover my eyes and discovered there was something grainy on them that were irritating my skin.

Snapping my eyes open, I finally realized what was going on. I wasn’t back in the Himalayan mountains…I was sleeping in the desert sand with Abhay next to me. The small blanket that had been thrown over our bodies wasn’t enough to keep the cold away and Abhay’s curled up body beside me was proof enough that the temperature had dropped considerably this early in the morning.
