Yara knew without asking, but she feigned ignorance. "Jessie, what are you so happy about?"
"Nothing. Hehe." Rose Sanders gave a mischievous grin, said "Good night" to Yara, and darted back into her room.
Yara's anxious heart finally settled. After washing up, she got into bed. Exhausted from the long day and knowing she had to be up early again, she fell asleep almost instantly.
She couldn't tell if it was exhaustion or a dream.
She thought she felt a man sitting on the edge of her bed, gazing at her with a somber, pained expression. He reached out and caressed her face. She didn't know if he had applied medicine or done something else, but the pain slowly began to fade, replaced by a cool sensation.
She reached for his hand; it was somewhat rough. Shifting her body, she leaned against him. She thought she heard a faint sigh, and then the figure lay down beside her, letting her hold on.
「The next day」
