Music Recommendation: In Ordina by Tristan Eckerson
.
In the Hawthrone castle, Calhoun was returning back to his room when he caught sight of Madeline, who stood outside her room in the open corridor, looking up at the sky where the moon was visible. He walked to where she was and hearing his footsteps, she turned to look at him.
"You are back," said Madeline, seeing him stop walking when he came near her.
"Where else would I go?" Calhoun teased her, his eyes taking in her blonde hair that was let down, cascading down her shoulders, "Not able to sleep?" he asked.
Madeline was waiting for him as she had not seen him over the time of supper. She was getting used to him being around her, and if there was someone she believed who didn't want to kill her, it was Calhoun.
"You didn't return from the forest soon," Madeline responded, and her words warmed Calhoun's cold heart.
