章 73: Leave

"What are you doing?" Storm asked, puzzled. She was moving as if she didn't want to make any noise to attract anyone when she knew he could clearly see and was watching her every move. 

The moment he spoke, Ellie stopped moving as if she had been caught. She turned around in slow mode, and flashed a nervous smile

"This place is too dark." She started to speak whilst still taking careful steps toward her place of target. "If you want to scold me or punish me for what I did last night, then I'd prefer you do it in a bright enough place."

"I don't want to scold—" Storm paused when she stopped right in front of the window and turned around to face it, moving her hands to grab the edge of the curtains.

"Don't open the curtains, Ell—" He couldn't complete his sentence because Ellie dragged the curtains apart, letting in the beautiful and colorful rays of the sunrise.
