Chapter 261 Sneaking In

• Aurora’s P.O.V
• It was past evening when Caleb and I return from the beach, our steps light yet hurried as we glance around; making sure no one notices us sneaking in.

He looks ridiculous, but the way his eyes gleam with mischief makes it impossible to say anything.
• "Caleb, you do realize that we live here, right?" I whisper, a teasing lilt in my voice as I nudge his arm. "You’re acting like a criminal breaking into his own house."
