4 a.m.
Elliana Lyle woke up abruptly, shivering slightly.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
The man's gentle voice came from above her head. She was still in his warm embrace, feeling much more at ease instantly.
What startled her was not anything else, but that in the dream she went to attend Sister Phoebe's engagement party, and on her neck...
Thinking of what Norman Bennett did to her last night made her a bit angry, and suddenly she was wide awake!
Maybe because she hadn't spent quality time with Norman lately, she indulged the man exceptionally last night, even responding to him...
If she hadn't stopped in time, things might have gone out of control.
"Norman Bennett, it's all your fault!"
Elliana huffed and sat up, turned on the light, and checked the time on the wall clock before quickly getting out of bed.
