The moment the hotel room door closed behind me, silence settled around me again.
I slipped my heels off near the entrance and walked deeper into the suite slowly, exhaling under my breath as Seoul’s glowing skyline stretched beyond the massive windows ahead of me.
The city was beautiful at night.
Cold blue lights.
Towering buildings.
Traffic flowing endlessly beneath the dark sky.
For a moment, I simply stood there staring at it. Then exhaustion settled properly into my body. My shoulders ached. My head felt heavy.
And somewhere underneath all of it lingered the uncomfortable awareness of Dominic watching me all day.
Every glance.
Every silence.
Every restrained expression.
It followed me back here too.
I looked away from the window and headed toward the bathroom.
Warm water
