"Why are you here?" Diana looked straight into the eyes of Cotlin. "This is the ladies room." she had just washed her face and fixed her makeup for the day.
She was lucky that Hazel had been sick. So her parents were busy tending to her. She had thought that she would have time for herself. But this man… was he a phantom. How did he even come here?
"Now that I think about it, I have met you in the dark gardens for the first time and I have kissed you in the forbidden area of the auction house. Why are you always lurking in the dark? What are you hiding?" Cotlin raised a brow. The breath that left his body felt foreign. What was he doing here?
He wanted to know that too. It had been two weeks since he was locked in that room by that foolish Ardian and this time even Ember did not come forward. She was gone!
First thing he saw entering the palace was Diana. Next thing he knew, he was standing behind her in the powder room. He felt like a fool now.
