Chapter 67

• Aria woke up, the warmth of the blanket enveloping her. She blinked, disoriented, and looked down to see she was clothed—a soft shirt and pants covering her body. I’m not naked this time, she thought, a mix of relief and confusion washing over her.
• She quickly recognized her surroundings; she was in Dante's bedroom on his bed. The reality of her situation hit her: she was not allowed to go out of this room nor wear any clothes in this room unless he permitted it.
• Turning to her side, she saw Dante sleeping peacefully beside her. A wave of fear surged through her as she took in his presence. What if he wakes up? She gulped, her heart racing. Memories of the chaos before her unconsciousness flooded her mind, leaving her anxious and unsettled.
