Immediately she rushed out of her room, confused and questioning uncontrollably about the reason why she had seen Lev in the garden. It was late at night, what was he doing?!

Seeing her shocked eyes, Lev looked surprised as well, "Ilyana? I thought you were asleep." 

Ilyana shook her head, "I can't sleep," she whispered. "Not now at least. You too... you aren't sleeping?"
