Chapter 159: Apology

As we reach the top of the stairs, Aurora finally seems to realize how closely she's clinging to me, and she reluctantly loosens her grip. "I… I should probably get down now. Actually, I don't know why I didn't climb down minutes ago…" she says, with a voice that's a mix of uncertainty and embarrassment.

I oblige and let her down without requiring any further prompts. "Who wants to sleep with me?" I then inquire.
