Chapter 52: Painful Love

"You underestimate me," William objected playfully. "Look, I'm still up for it."

Ava shook her head, even though she herself wanted to accept the tempting invitation. "I know you're strong. But I'm not as resilient as you. My waist is really sore."

"Ah, you're like a thirty-year-old woman," William commented, slightly disappointed. "I thought someone your age could keep up with me."

Ava shook her head in frustration. "We have one problem, Will. You have to wake up early in your own room. Remember that."

William looked serious now. He knew Ava was right. "You're right, I don't want Lukas to know what's going on."
