Aldana Candi awoke from her sleep to find the sky had already darkened. She wasn't sure what she had dreamed about, but upon waking, her head throbbed painfully as she sat on the bed, breathing gently, and she heard the faint sound of the door opening. Turning her head toward the door, she saw Liam Summer walk in; it wasn't completely dark yet, and he had returned fairly early today.
He was wearing a black double-breasted wool coat, with the collar of a white shirt neatly tucked inside, exuding a gentle yet restrained aura. Looking at him, Aldana couldn't help but think about when they first met; back then, Liam was still a young boy, not even an adult.
But now, he had grown tall; broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, long-legged, and solid, completely different from the teenage Liam she remembered.
His height made her feel a bit intimidated.
Seeing him come in, Aldana unconsciously tucked her legs under her skirt, looking at him with a bit of hesitant caution.
