Rafael and Nikolai refused to leave.
Well, it wasn’t like anyone chased them away but they weren’t making any effort to leave.
Night eventually came. Tessa left.
But Rafael and Nikolai followed me into my room.
I sat on the bed. They sat on the couch opposite the bed. I chuckled at the sight. “Are both of you going to stay here all night?”
They shared a glance, then nodded.
I bit my bottom lip. It wasn’t like I minded that, but this was the first time the three of us were alone after we left the island. It was… for lack of a better word, awkward.
We stayed in silence for a while. Then Nikolai suddenly stood up and walked toward me. I strained my neck to look up at him. He squatted in front of me instead. “Can we talk?”
I bit the inside of my cheek, not replying.
