It was past midnight when Luciana started turning and twisting on the bed, reaching towards the source of warmth that seemed to have been gone. The feeling cold bed made her open her eyes.
A hint of displeasure flashed on her face which changed into confusion when she realized that the bed was completely empty, with Cardan being nowhere in sight. She had not realized when she had ended up dozing off in his arms and nor did she know when he left the bed.

For one, he was terrified of huge water bodies, and still, he insisted on spending the night in the sea with her. And now, he was roaming around somewhere all by himself.
Shaking her head, Luciana approached a maid who was walking past her in the hallway.
"My Lady,'' the maid greeted her politely.
"Have you seen Cardan?"
