Chapter 65: Porcupine as the husband

After Julie stepped inside the Dormitorium, she went straight to her dorm as Melanie was still attending classes where there were two more to go. 

Roman had made her walk all around the forest of Willow Creek, and she was tired. Tired of walking, of having the alien scare her to death and the spider that she had tried to maintain distance from. She was glad that Roman had not insisted on making her hold his beloved pet's child. But then Julie realized it would be unlike him to force her. Sure he liked to elicit reactions from her, but she doubted he ever meant actual harm to her. 

Unlocking the dorm door, she pushed it open, stepping in and closing the door. 

It was very unlike her to skip classes, but it was also very unlike for people to help or be thoughtful about her. She hung the bag at the back of the chair before stretching her hands and body.
