Chapter 80: Perfect fit

Dandeline simply had a glass of water and excitedly started to dress me. She was helping me with the corset, and since I did not have a bed with a bedpost; I held onto the table cupboard. Where Channing had pinned me and remembering it was making my breath hitch as Dandeline pulled on the strings gently. 

"Did you ask where Channing went?" I asked, remembering about Channing and to keep my mind off what had happened yesterday. 

Dandeline was fiddling with the strings as she replied, while her attention was focused on the corset. "I did ask. They just said he would be back in four days, nothing else."

I hummed in response. It made me wonder if he was taking some time off. If what Fang had said was true, then Channing might have visited his past because of what happened here yesterday. But he doesn't seem like a person to ignore his duties towards the selection of Beta for the sake of his emotions. I hoped he wasn't drowning in some kind of despair.
