章 56: Chapter 56

Rome, Italy.

Carlos's pov: 

After finishing my shower, I decided to make a quick change in the bathroom to avoid any awkwardness with Alliana. Putting on a shirt and some long shorts seemed like the courteous thing to do; the last thing I wanted was to make her uncomfortable by parading around shirtless. After I finished, I flicked off the bathroom lights and gently pushed the door open, stepping out into the room.

To my surprise, Alliana was still there, nestled comfortably in my bed. "You decided to stick around, huh?" I asked as I approached her, but she remained silent, lost in slumber. Concerned, I leaned closer, calling her name again, but she didn't stir. Looking at her closely, I realized she was sound asleep, with a few strands of hair drifting over her serene face. She seemed calm, wrapped in half of my covers.
