"Where is Moon?" Aiden asked the butler as soon as he returned back home. His eyes already moved to scan the room, searching for her while clearly noticing her absence.
Mr Jones, long accustomed to this ritual, smiled and replied, "Madam is in her practice room. She had asked us to let her know when you come back home."
"That wouldn't be required," Aiden responded smoothly while slipping off his jacket and handing it to the butler to keep. "I will go to her myself."
With that, he strode in the direction of the practice room.
After the long day away, this was the moment he craved —the moment when he could return to her. After craving it for years, it had finally become the daily routine that brought him to his kind peace.
