Chapter 45

• Meanwhile, Tristan had spent the entire night pacing in his room, embarrassed at his outburst the previous day at the dinner. It was not at all like him to go off like that, but heaven knows how much he had had to endure before he gave way like that.
• The thought of that look of disbelief on Roth’s face at his words was too unsettling for him. Even he himself could not believe he had actually said that. The effect that Roth had on him was scary, so after a long while of regretting and pondering over it, Tristan made a decision.
• Minutes after, he was knocking at Roth’s bedroom door, only to find out that the occupant of the room was not in. With a pang of hurt and jealousy Tristan realized what it meant. Roth had slept in Ruby’s room. Roth - who would never leave his place, his bedroom for anyone, had left it for Ruby.
