章節 346: Changing Feelings

Suddenly, I heard the familiar soft sound of the door being opened. Some light crept in through the crack of the door as my sister slowly opened it. I knew from the gentle way that she handled her entrance and the soft sound of her footsteps as she came inside that the person who had entered the room was none other than my own sister, and she was making a conscious effort not to wake me.

"You're back," I said, trying to keep my tone light.

"You're not asleep yet? It's very late already," Diana said while sounding a little surprised.

"I was waiting for you to come back. How was the event?" I asked as I tried to sound innocent. I apologized to my sister silently that she had to handle the event alone, at least until Bradon turned up.

"Can I turn on the lights? Are you about to go to bed right now?" she asked.

"I'm not sleepy at all," I replied honestly. It felt like I was too emotionally drained to actually fall asleep for the night.
