บท 248: Late night talk (1)

"You want me to sleep here with you? Your mother-"

"I know what time she wakes and I will be sure to not let her find you here when morning comes. You fail to realise sometimes how I don't want my mother to find us together. I don't need to hear about children and marriage right now. Wait here," Rafael said, getting out of the tub first to find something to dry off Annalise with.

"I think if your mother knew that we were like this right now, she would be silent. Excited, but she would give us some space to make a relationship grow. Getting angry with anyone interrupting our time together. We are supposed to be going into town tomorrow which means she might come knocking at our doors early to remind us," said Annalise.

Annalise stepped out of the tub and drained the rest of the water. She hugged her chest as the air suddenly became cold.
