章 264: Apology

[Raven Larkspur POV.]

Exiting Ren's room, I left him to prepare for the day. The image of his shirtless physique lingered in my mind, leaving me flustered and unable to shake off the embarrassment.

How does someone even achieve such chiseled perfection? It felt as though there wasn't an ounce of fat on him, just pure, lean muscle. I mentally shook my head, my face heating up at the thought.

Descending the stairs, I noticed the other students casting sideways glances at me. No one apart from Mrs. Penny had engaged in conversation with me. Nevertheless, it was somewhat comforting knowing Ren now occupied the dorm we once shared, even if it was Adam's former room.

There was a sense of shared space due to that arrangement.

"Hey there, girl! Met the guy?" Mrs. Penny chimed in cheerfully as she set down food at the table where other juniors had congregated. It brought back memories of my own first year.
