Dinner went smoothly with no surprises, unless you count Roman being Roman and the usual round of playful banter.
Right now, Violet lay on her bed, all alone. She had thought having the space to herself would be nice, maybe even liberating. But strangely enough, she couldn't sleep. After over thirty minutes of turning and tossing to no avail, Violet knew just what to do.
Grabbing her pillow, she quietly got up and padded to the door. She opened it slowly, peering out into the hallway. When no one was in sight, she slipped out and closed the door behind her with a soft click. Violet paused for a moment, listening for sounds. When the coast stayed clear, she tiptoed toward a certain room.
When Violet arrived, she turned the knob and it gave in. Thankfully. She eased the door open and stepped inside, closing it gently behind her.
"I knew you'd come."
Violet's heart nearly leapt out of her chest.
