章 43: Will you forgive me if I succumbed to my instincts?

After bathing, I stood in front of the window to gaze up at the crescent moon. It had been a while since I adored it like this. Back in Everfell, I would always stand on the balcony, just staring at it as it felt like we're the same in a way. We're both alone, although I couldn't really say I was lonely just like it.

"It's still as beautiful as ever," I whispered, snapping my eyes when I heard a light knock from outside the door. I glanced at it and saw Hugo entering quietly. 

"Hello," I greeted with a weak smile before looking up at the moon once again. Ever since I was abducted, Hugo would sleep in the same room. Although he would usually sleep on the floor while I was on the bed. I didn't argue with him about this, as sleeping alone somehow scared me deep down.

"What are you doing?" His voice sounded close before I felt him stand behind me. I glanced to my right when he planted both his hands on the windowsill, keeping me in between them.
