Chapitre 220: Waterworks

Persephone was half asleep when she felt someone pulling sheets off her body. She didn't need to ask who it was as she could recognise this scent anywhere. Feeling a dip in the mattress, she moved towards the source of warmth. 

"Go back to sleep," Santiago murmured as her back hit his chest. 

"Hug me," Persephone demanded. 

Santiago placed her head on his arms and put his hand on her stomach, caressing her in the process. Persephone changed her position facing him. She saw his eyes were closed and he was still dressed in his clothes. 

She wiped his tensed frown on her forehead. She wondered how many secrets he might be keeping from her but she knew that she needed to trust him. There are things they couldn't share and she understood it more than anyone. 

Santiago caught her wandering hand and kissed the inside of her wrist.
