Ava I slowly opened my eyes, and warm light enveloped me. I was on the bed, its plush comfort cradling me like a cloud. The room was serene, filled with the delicate fragrance of jasmine and rose petals that lingered on my skin, filling my senses. My hair was tidy, and my body felt refreshed, as if I had just stepped out of a soothing bath. Did Caspian probably wash me up and arrange the whole place? Well, it seems so. As I sat up, my gaze swept the room, searching for any sign of Caspian. But he was nowhere to be found. A pang of unease settled in my chest, followed by the memory of Caspian's words: "Nobody will ever touch you again." A shiver ran down my spine as I wondered what he had meant by those words. What kind of words were those in the first place? What does he really mean?
