บท 506: 506. Hers

Mauve instinctively tightened her hold on Jael as they walked out the door together. He returned the gesture, squeezing her hands lightly. She smiled up at him and he winked.

Mauve couldn't help the giggle that popped out of her lips. She wondered if he could tell she was anxious even though there was nothing to be anxious about.

She knew she wouldn't be this conscious if it was Mill or Louis but somehow doing this with Jael made all her nerve ends stand on edge.

Mauve winced as they stepped out, it wasn't a full moon but it was bright enough to see.

However, she didn't have to rely on just the moon, the first thing she noticed as she walked down the castle steps was the fountain.

There was light all around it as though it had been specifically lit for her. She was still on the stairs leading to the door but she could see it from where she stood.

It took her everything not to rush forward. She could hear the loud sound of rushing water.
