Capítulo 21: Chapter Twenty One

*If you have "Love Came Down" by Kari Jobe, please play it ❤️. It goes wonderfully well with the chapter. Enjoy!!*

Alex opened his eyes.

Where am I?

He looked around and saw that he was still in his room, but he wasn't on his bed. His eyes widened.

He looked at Adriel asleep on the floor beside him, a mere inch away from his face.

He lowered his gaze remembering all the events that had happened earlier that day.

She'd forgiven him.

Even after everything he'd done.

He hesitantly reached out and touched her face.

She stirred slightly at his touch, pulling him closer.

She was the most important person in the world to him.

He wouldn't have been able to bear it if he'd lost her.

"Adriel." He whispered her name softly, tracing the curves of her face with feather-light touches.

She let out an incoherent sound before her eyes fluttered open.

He couldn't look away as her eyes met his.

She looked at him, her face dangerously close to his.

He gulped.
