Chapter 26 In His Home

• POV (Hannah)
• I felt too uncomfortable to close my eyes. The room was too large and empty, the ceiling too far away, and the air conditioner made it too cold. Nothing was comfy. I stared at my feet while sitting down and kept glancing at my phone screen nonstop. A message came in, and I quickly checked it: "Go to bed, I won't be home tonight. I have to stay with your brother, but don't miss work." Liam was getting his surgery, and Ethan wouldn't even let me be there.
• I found it hard to sleep in a stranger's house and in a stranger's bed. I got out of bed and slowly opened the door silently, although it still made soft creaking sounds. The living room was large and empty, feeling like a graveyard and looking eerie. The brightness was almost blinding. I walked to the couch and took a seat, feeling a bit hungry but unsure what to do. Should I go into his kitchen and make food or call the keepers? I summoned the courage and was about to stand up when I bumped into a maid.
