บท 64: Wedding preparations

It's time for me to start getting ready. I have to wear the gown, fix my hair and also apply suitable makeup.

Still, lying here is so much more comfortable.

«Whatever happens, don't get away from me,» Alexander murmurs while caressing my hair. He's looking at the ceiling, lost in thoughts and troubled. His heart is beating steadily, but I think he's worried about the unknown threats waiting to cut my throat at the first misstep.

«I have an idea,» I start. «To bait out...»

«No traps,» he murmurs. «Especially if you use yourself as bait.»

«Don't be so drastic. I know what I'm doing,» I giggle. «And you can use your superpower to find out what I'm thinking, right?»

«I don't read minds.»

«Only mine,» I sulk.

«That's not wrong,» he sighs, and he turns to the side. I move my head on his arm, letting him find a comfortable position, but I don't back away. I'm feeling a bit tired, and I'd just close my eyes and rest for a while.
