There was only one bed in the room. Ariana would either sleep with Theodore or she would sleep on the floor. One thing was sure though: she could never sleep on the floor. She took a deep breath and rebuilt her confidence.

Although she felt awkward, she made an effort to get into bed as calmly as she could. However, she put a pillow between the two of them to keep a distance from Theodore.

Theodore found Ariana's childish behavior quite amusing, and he didn't say or do anything to stop her. She really thought a pillow could stop him from doing whatever he wanted? How ridiculous!

With the pillow putting a distance between them, the awkwardness in Ariana's heart gradually disappeared. She adjusted the pillow under her head, covered herself with the duvet and closed her eyes, doing her best to ignore Theodore's existence. However, she couldn't ignore Theodore's pleasant and unique smell that intoxicated her.

She figured she had to find a way to think of something else.
