Seraphina's POV
I was still lost in thought when my phone suddenly rang, pulling me back to the present. My brows furrowed—it was already late.
Who could be calling at this hour? I wondered, walking over to the dresser where I'd left it.
The screen lit up with a name that made my heart skip; it was Lucien.
Without even thinking, I picked up the call. "Hello," I answered, my voice softer than I intended, as my heart was pounding in my chest just at the sound of his name flashing on the screen.
"Come out," Lucien demanded. There were no greetings or anything.
I froze.
"Excuse me?" I asked in shock, gripping the phone tighter.
Did he really expect me to walk out of the house… now?
"It's almost eleven, Lucien," I whispered, glancing over my shoulder as if someone could hear me. "How can I come out at this hour?"
