736 UNFAIR

The kiss didn't linger as long as the ones from the other nights and Jedrek stood without budging from his place until Lilac closed the door.

Lilac stood in front of the closed door and knew that Jedrek was still standing on the other side too.

Lilac wanted to see his reaction when she said that, and no matter how hard Jedrek tried to hide it, she was able to notice the emotion behind his cold eyes and that small hiccup in his nonchalant demeanor the moment she mentioned Serefina's name.

She lowered her head and trudged toward her bed. She was too tired to think about all of this and needed time to rest.

Meanwhile, outside the door, Jedrek waited until he heard Lilac heavy steps and the soft sound as her body fell on to the bed, only then did he walk away.

On his right side, through the opened windows along the corridor, Jedrek watched as the heavy rain cascading down from the eerie dark night relentlessly and Lilac's words echoed in his head.
