HI yall, I just uploaded chapter 16 of my romance story, it's a twist on the enemies to lovers trope and would love for you to check it out! Below is a link and snippet of the latest chapter!
Snippet:
“Avalor?” he smiles humorously, taking notice of the lit candle. “Did you light this just now?” I turn my attention back to the lone candle sitting at my window sill. It’s still flickering.
“The candle?” I repeat, considering in my head if it’s worth confessing or lying about.
“Yes,” he nods, seemingly bewildered, “I can’t fathom it would have stayed lit past the night.” Confess it is.
“Of course not,” I concur egregiously, “I merely lit it this morning.” Judging by his expression, I can tell neither response would have sufficed in my attempt to persuade him.
“Upon broad daylight?” he asks curiously.
“I-It was dark,” I affirm, with a straight face. “When I awoke, that is,” I quickly clarify.
“Of course,” he halfheartedly agrees, before turning to further examine the candle, “though, it is strange…” Reaching for the tray’s handle, he raises it between us. “Look here, Avalor, it’s as though ash has pooled around its center.” Yes, it would appear I couldn’t exactly remove it from the hot wax. “Did you happen to take notice of this,” he prods, “when you lit it, that is?” His recycling of my words puts me at unease, cluing me into his suspicion.
“I can’t say I hadn’t thought it was strange,” I offer, with an innocent pouting of my lips.
