章 35: Chapter 35: The Great Escape

Adrian’s POV

My heading is pounding, and my limbs feel heavy as if they’re filled with lead. I wince at the morning sun beaming in through the curtains.

I haven’t been this hungover in a long time, so I’ve forgotten how sh*tty I feel the day after.

Memories of last night flash through my mind and a smile spreads across my lips. I’m glad that Alicia has seemingly forgiven me for what happened with her brother, and we were able to go back to the way things were between us. She was passionate and all over me last night, and I loved every second of it.

I roll to my side and reach my hand out in search of Alicia’s warm body where we fell asleep the night before wrapped in each other’s arms. Her scent lingers on my pillow, filling my senses.

My eyes widen when I see her side of the bed completely empty. With furrowed brows, I look toward the alarm clock on the bedside table and see it’s already midday. A sigh of relief escapes my lips.
