Bab 268: Future (2)

"Please take your hand off of me, Rafael. You are only doing this for the sake of touching me. Being in a tub with a good-looking man would be much better if there was food. Am I to wait here for you to return from having dinner with your family?" Annalise asked since it was nearing time for dinner. They would soon need to part ways to get food. 

"You can always join us for dinner," Rafael replied, continuing to wash her body diligently. Despite what Annalise said, she made no attempt to move his hands. 

"And have your mother assume that something happened between us? Isn't that what we should avoid at the moment? I will eat with the other servants and knights. Then I will return here when it gets quiet. I will be like a mouse," Annalise said.
