Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Late Night, Moonlight

Eleonore’s POV

The twins and I spent the rest of the day asleep, or lazing about on the couch. It wasn’t until the three of us had gotten hungry that we had all finally gotten up and ate something Rhett had cooked up for us.

After that we left the cabin to explore the lake. Night had slowly descended, but despite the lack of sun, the air was thick and warm and too uncomfortable to sleep in.

“Feel like a swim,” Hayden had said as he stretched out, the bones in his shoulders and back cracking satisfactorily as he did so. I looked over to him from where I stood with Rhett, his large arm in my hand as he steadied me on one of the logs I had managed to balance myself on. “Care to join me, Eleonore?”

‘In the lake?’ I asked suspiciously. ‘I don’t know… What else is in there?’

“It’s relatively clear,” Rhett’s voice came over as he helped me down by my waist. “There isn’t anything more than a few species of fish, maybe some frogs—nothing dangerous.”
